How Do I... Not Be Hopelessly Lost?

I'm sorry for ANOTHER stupid question, but I'm having a REEEALLY hard time following the Tutorials and searching for help in the forums here. I've just attached my ultrasonic distance sensor to my EZ-B4, but I can't figure out how to do anything with it. At this point, I just want to have my robot navigate autonomously (which, to the best of my knowledge, should be a fairly simply process) before moving on to more complex tasks, but I've got no idea how to proceed from here.  What do I need to do to figure this out?

EUREKA haha.try a very slow speed.if you put the ultrasonic on a servo, to turn left/right its more fun.
