DistanceRead is now Read() [#47]

• To simplify the name of the distance read method to read() Documentation, examples and other references have been updated. The old method still works, but a depreciation message is launched.

Abolition of the pulseIn method [#45]

• The implementation of the timing now no longer use pulseIn() to prevent any incompatibility problems with platforms that do not have this method implemented.

Other changes

• Added WProgram.h to header file to increase code compatibility [#46];
• Created examples using timeouts [#44];
• Created code of conduct, instructions to contribution and issue templates;
• Some fixes in documentation and code style.

Add timeout to prevent lock-up

Prevents lock-up when waiting for echo return. Delegated Ultrasonic constructor for three-pin operation

The timeout is an optional parameter (20000UL by default) in the constructor or defined at runtime.

On the constructor:

Ultrasonic ultrasonic(12, 13, 40000UL);

Or in runtime:

ultrasonic.setTimeout(40000UL);

Tanks @eliotlim

• Optimization of distanceRead() method implementation.

• Add suport to three pins sensors, like Ping))) and Seeed SEN136B5B (from Seeed Studio);
• It is guaranteed that the distance reading method will not return negative values;
• Updates documentation.

• Updated name of project

• Updated documentation
• License update
• Duplicate code removal
• Correction of the return of the distanceRead () method
• New file layout
• Adding library.properties

• The read function implemented to return, by default, the distance in centimeters;
• Read function implemented to receive as parameter in which unit should return the distance value (centimeters or inches);
• Defined which improvements to the next version.
