I bought this waterproof ultrasonic sensor about 5 of them with the part number SR04M-2 Written on the PCB silkscreen Which is different from the usual SR04t-0.2, they are just not working, I don't know if its using a different communication protocol or its faulty because no output is coming out of the sensor at all. if anyone out there has ever came across this type and was able to walk his/her way around it should help

I found this code for the SRF05 and it works for the SRO4M-2 as well. Good Luck!

const unsigned int TRIG_PIN=13; //RX
const unsigned int ECHO_PIN=12;  TX
const unsigned int BAUD_RATE=9600;

void setup() {
  pinMode(TRIG_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ECHO_PIN, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(BAUD_RATE);
}


void loop() {
  digitalWrite(TRIG_PIN, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  digitalWrite(TRIG_PIN, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(10);
  digitalWrite(TRIG_PIN, LOW);


const unsigned long duration= pulseIn(ECHO_PIN, HIGH);
  int distance= duration/29/2;
  if(duration==0){
    Serial.println("Warning: no pulse from sensor");
  } else {
    Serial.print("distance to nearest object:");
    Serial.println(distance);
    Serial.println(" cm");
  }
  delay(100);
}

RX = trig and TX = Echo this is counter intuitive but it works. The manufacturer did not bother to indicate trig and echo on the PCB. I discovered this on link : https://bitbucket.org/teckel12/arduino-new-ping/issues/40/aj-sr04m-board. When I switch RX & TX as indicated in the pics it worked
