Re: Ultrasonic Rangefinder Operating On I2C Bus
We ran into a similar problem with our robot (it was a gyroscope, though.) We have thought about synthesizing the protocol using some programming and three digital I/O ports, but that never went anywhere. The closest we got to actually doing something is picking out a secondary PIC with I2C and SPI capabilities, and thinking we'd have the gyro interface with that, and that the secondary PIC would report to the RC. Kinda inefficient, but that's where we stopped.

Hope this helps!

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
