How did you apply the sonar on your 2012 robot? We are working with sensors over the summer and program in LabVIEW, but can understand some equivalent C code. We were hoping to use the sonar to backup to a fixed object about 5" away, but the sonar does not update in real time for us and when testing the sensor of the bot, it varies wildly in accuracy. Outside of 6" we seem to have repeatability within an inch. Actually the farther away we get, the more accurate it seems to be. We would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
