We are using the KOP Maxbotix sonar and I was wondering if there was any value to averaging and/or oversampling the analog channel we have it hooked up to? We are basically only using it as a depth sensor during autonomous, and being off an inch or two probably isn't going to make any difference.
So, if it is worth doing, I have some questions:
- Can you average without oversampling, or vice versa? (I think yes)
- Do I understand the bits thing right? If I set the "average bits" to 2, then it averages 4 readings, if set to 4 it averages 16?
- For this application (sonar) would oversampling actually gain us anything?
Thanks
