   This class encapsulates a type of acoustic ranger.  In particular
   the type of ranger with separate trigger and echo pins.

   A pulse on the trigger initiates the sonar ping and shortly
   afterwards a sonar pulse is transmitted and the echo pin
   goes high.  The echo pins stays high until a sonar echo is
   received (or the response times-out).  The time between
   the high and low edges indicates the sonar round trip time.
