Re: semi-period counter
Well, I either found the accuracy of the counter, or (more likely) I found the accuracy of the Digital Output "Pulse" function. It seems to be about 8 milliseconds longer than I tell it to be.
The Maxbotix Sonar sends a pulse width of distance (in) * 147 microseconds.

Anyways, for now I'll just use Analog like usual, but I'd still like to get more info on the accuracy of the semi-period counter.
