Re: Ultrasonic Help
Just angle the sensor away from your robot, or place a rubber cone (with small holes) behind and around the sensor. The rubber will be able to cancel out any side acoustics, in my experience. Are you stuck with using that model of XL? If possible, I'd reccomend switching over to the AE version, rather than the EZ, and looking for the reflected signal of the target on the AE output; it's a lot less prone to interference, although it requires a very significant amount of programming expertise.


Don, that's the datasheet for the LV model of sensor. The two models are quite a bit different in regards to how they can operate.
