Re: Reducing noise on the MaxBotix ultrasonics?

As long as the sensor is fairly parallel to the wall, there shouldn't be too much noise (±0.5-1 cm). How are you reading the value? Over the analog output?

You might try accumulating 5-6 readings then taking the median.

Are you currently using a single sensor? We tried using two, but gave up because of the noise.
