# LEGO® Spike Hub and the Distance Sensor
A Python snippet utilizing the LEGO Spike distance sensor, [MicroPython](https://lego.github.io/MINDSTORMS-Robot-Inventor-hub-API/), and the `get_distance_cm()` and `light_up()` commands.
## Sample Code
```py
from mindstorms import MSHub, Motor, MotorPair, ColorSensor, DistanceSensor, App
from mindstorms.control import wait_for_seconds, wait_until, Timer
from mindstorms.operator import greater_than, greater_than_or_equal_to, less_than, less_than_or_equal_to, equal_to, not_equal_to
import math
hub = MSHub()
distance_sensor = DistanceSensor('A')
pixels = '00000:00000:00000:00000:00000'
while True:
dist_cm = distance_sensor.get_distance_cm()
dist_inches = distance_sensor.get_distance_inches()
if equal_to(dist_cm, None):
pass
elif less_than(dist_cm, 5):
pixels = '99999:99999:99999:99999:99999'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 10):
pixels = '88888:88888:88888:88888:88888'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 15):
pixels = '77777:77777:77777:77777:77777'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 20):
pixels = '66666:66666:66666:66666:66666'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 25):
pixels = '55555:55555:55555:55555:55555'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 30):
pixels = '44444:44444:44444:44444:44444'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 35):
pixels = '33333:33333:33333:33333:33333'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 40):
pixels = '22222:22222:22222:22222:22222'
elif less_than(dist_cm, 45):
pixels = '11111:11111:11111:11111:11111'
else:
pixels = '00000:00000:00000:00000:00000'
hub.light_matrix.show(pixels)
print(dist_cm)
if hub.left_button.is_pressed() and hub.right_button.is_pressed():
break
hub.speaker.beep()
```
