Re: LV-MaxSonar-EZ1

Hi Eric,
My current plan is to use the camera to get near the spider feet in autonomous and then switch over to the sonar sensor to fine turn the robot's position from the spider foot. By positioning one ultrasonic sensor at the middle spider foot and a second ultrasonic sensor at the bottom
foot, I should be able to get the robot positioned within
inches of our desired position. Pretty cool, I think!

I will post data on using the sensor to detect the spider foot and may even test with a paper housing around the
sensor to see if that helps the sensor to find the spider foot even better. I hope the sensor's arrive before Saturday, so I can work with the students on showing them how to run
a calibration study.
