Re: Using and Coding an ultrasonic sensor

I think the best way to use a rangefinder would be in conjunction with other methods of navigation. For example, one could use wheel rotations or maybe an Inertial Nav system to guide the robot to a specific area and then make fine tuned movements based on ultra sonic input.

That's what I'd do anyway...
