Re: sonar is being lame

I recommend using an analogue ultrasound sensor. If you use a digital sensor, you will have to use interrupts to time how long it takes for the signal to return. I have not tried to do so this year in labview, and have not even looked at windriver. If you use an analogue sensor, you will only have to check to see how much voltage is coming back.
