   if you change the wait body to include a counter then you could realize   
   that when the counter had reached a high number - you missed the pulse.   
   Just try again then. Getting a reading is not that time sensitive - or?   
      
   :START   
          int cnt = 0;   
          gpio_put(ULTRASONIC_OUT,1);   
          sleep_us(10);   
          gpio_put(ULTRASONIC_OUT,0); //reset the input   
     //if asynch event lasting more than 100uS occurs here...   
          // wait for echo pulse start   
          while(TRUE) {   
      
            if (! gpio_get(ULTRASONIC_IN)) {   
               cnt++   
            } else {   
              break;   
            }   
      
            if (cnt >= TOO_HIGH_VALUE) {   
               goto START;   
            }   
      
      
          }
