Fixed punctuation.

@narzan I think the person asking the question was referring to water droplets in front of the sensor (assuming i somehow achieved to water proof the sensor).

| Aug 25, 2015 at 10:56 | comment | added | Lokanath | No i thought of making a case where in which drill 2 holes for trig and echo meshes and hot glue them from inside.i hope you get my point. Just like this amazon.in/Clear-Case-Arduino-UNO-Transparent/dp/… where in they did for debug and power cords | |

Wouldn't you just be sensing the distance of the latex from the sensor? - possibly. That's why I suggested trying it. assuming i somehow achieved to water proof the sensor - in what way would you waterproof it without some sort of covering?
