ultrasonic/distance sensor use

[incredibelles]

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the ultrasonic sensor use in pybricks and could use a little help. I've made it this far:

but this prints "UltrasonicSensor"

and this prints "0"

So how do I retrieve the current ultrasonic/distance sensor value?
Ultimately, I'm trying to get to something like this (I think? does this code look right? i can't test it as I don't know the value I'll need)

where the robot is checking the sensor data and will drive until the distance is achieved, stop, then turn left.

Hello,

Do you need these blocks?

The distance block is in the input palette.

Maybe an extra pointer about the block colors.

In the documentation on the pybricks site all relative blocks are shown.
[EDIT] With the exception of setup blocks and the comments block.[/EDIT]
The color of the blocks indicate in which palette they can be found.

As example the ultra-sonic sensor:

The same color as the input palette has.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks, Bert! Can you provide an example of where I might use the variable (pink) instead?

[BertLindeman]

Sure 😃

Define a variable and fill it like this maybe:
