Re: How to connect Parallax Ping))) sensor
Actually the Ping Sensor from Parallax has the Trigger and Echo lines on the same pin. To use this with the Sidecar, wire 2 PWM cables to form a Y and connect to 2 Sidecar Digital Input/Output pins. If you are using Labview (not sure with WindRiver), there is a WPI Library for these specific ultrasonic sensors.
