I saw a tutorial of how to connect the Ping sensor to the arduino here:

I've been working with my wii remote and the built in camera within the wii remote to track infrared light, and thus control ableton live.However, I'm a little unclear on part C of the tutorial. I'm not sure how to send the control data along a virtual MIDI path and get my PING data into ableton.

Also what would the settings have to be in Ableton? I know when working with the wii remote, in preferences under the MIDI sync tab track and remote should be turned on for the midi port im using. What other prefernces should be altered to allow me to control a beat in ableton?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me...

I was able to get the data received from my sensor to spit out Midi data using the ctlout object in Max/MSP.

Then after selecting a midi instrument, let's say "Asian brass" for example, I went into the learning mode in Ableton, selected which part of that midi instrument I wanted to control (for example "loudness").

Once I got out of learning mode I saw that as I moved my hand in front of the sensor the control "loudness" for the "asian brass" midi instrument slides up and down, showing that it's receiving the information....but no sound.
