Re: Using Ultrasonic Sensor

Look her for the data sheet for the sonar that came in the kit of parts. http://www.maxbotix.com/documents/MB1010_Datasheet.pdf

You can see that it says

Quote:
"The LV-MaxSonarŽ-EZ1™ detects objects from 0-inches to 254-inches (6.45-meters) and provides sonar range information from 6-inches out to 254-inches with 1-inch resolution. Objects from 0-inches to 6-inches range as 6-inches"
We used the sensor in 2011 to range our selves to the post and to the side wall of the alley. They worked very well because we could know for certain what we were ranging against. We just used the analog inputs for both of the sensors that we used.
