To add new sonars, just create a new instance of it adding the echo and trigger pins.

You can see a quick video two posts below. Last days I received many emails asking for the code or how to make one, so I decided to build the sensor again, take pictures/videos and make a tutorial showing how you can make one, so here it is.
