Re: Wille the LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 range finder interfere with other sonar range finders?

Al,

I'm not disagreeing with you - in fact, that technique you outlined is the method by which you chain multiple rangers together. I'm simply pointing out that it's relatively unlikely that folks will implement any sort of control when an open-loop control technique is available, and all it takes is one free-firing sensor to muck up the field for everyone in the immediate vicinity. So, everyone who sees this post, please sacrifice one more digital io pin for ranger control - tell your friends.

Sparks

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

Thanks Scott. We know from previous years that the diamond plate that covers the players station can produce significant reflections.
