[Snap!] ultrasonic sensor
As said in issue #17: "Using MicroBlocks is fun. Thank you for your work. I keep in mind, that it is still in an early, experimental state." - I am enjoying to use the ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 with Snap!
and an Arduino device. Is it possible to achieve this with the Snap!
version of the MicroBlocks IDE, too?

reporter Thanks. I 'll give it a try.

reporter Thanks to you, Joan Guillén and Josep Ferràndiz. It working just fine. This issue can be closed.
It 's nice, that I can deal with such an accurate timing out-of-the-box. Remembering an older Snap4Arduino issue, I expected more difficulties: https://github.com/bromagosa/Snap4Arduino/issues/204
And I had to figure out a simple arrangement: Right now, I use the Micro Bit with a breakout board and a HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. The power supply is provided by a power bank with a CP2102 module ("USB-A to jump wire" / 3.3V for the Micro Bit AND 5V for the HC-SR04).

Great to hear it worked for you! :)
Closing this issue now.

You would have to write your own library for Snap, and it'd be a bit of a pain because you wouldn't be able to export it or save it.
If you still want to give it a shot, the standalone IDE comes with an ultrasound distance sensor library that you can look at for inspiration :)
(What I'd suggest is that you use the standalone version for now though :P)
