Re: Ultrasonic Sensors

I'm not a labview programmer, but as I understand the built-in ultrasonics routines are for digital ultrasonic sensors(the system sends out a ping and then waits to hear the returning ping). The maxbotics has a coprocessor that does this, so instead of using digital pulses, it just sends you back an analog value, which you can read the same way you'd read a potentiometer.
