/*
 * Ranger 2-Way × Arduino   Example 3: Is it nearer on the left or the right?
 * ------------------------------------------------------------
 * What does this example do?
 *   Reads three boxes, "01 left cm", "02 right cm" and "03 nearest cm", draws the two
 *   lasers' distances as two bars, and tells you on which side the object is nearer.
 *   These are the three boxes used most for avoiding obstacles and finding an opponent.
 *
 * You need: Ranger 2-Way (universal I2C edition) + a box or your hand.
 *
 * Wiring:
 *   Sensor VCC → 5V      Sensor GND → GND
 *   Sensor SDA → A4      Sensor SCL → A5         (UNO / Nano)
 *   UNO R4: SDA / SCL pins; ESP32: GPIO 21 (SDA) / GPIO 22 (SCL)
 *
 * How to see the result:
 *   Serial Monitor at 115200. Move your hand from left to right and watch the bars change.
 *
 * Which side is left and right?
 *   The sensor is mounted at the front of the robot (lasers pointing forward), and you stand behind the robot looking forward.
