Re: Using VEX Ultrasonic Sensor

I don't think there's an example for that type of sensor. The way it works is not something that is supported directly by the WPI library. I'm not even sure anyone has figured out the proper wiring and counter configuration to get useful information from it. Hopefully someone will answer with advice you can use.

Also, when we program the Ultrasonic Sensor how would I get it that it sends information(about Distance) to the "User Messages" Text Box in the Driver Station and continuously updates it? Thanks
Use the "Write User Message" function in the WPI Driver Station function palette.
