Two possible methods:
- Use a low pass filter and read through analog (less programming but requires a resistor and capacitor connected to the output, or
- Directly measure the pwm pulse and convert the timing to distance (more programming, but the sensor just drops in and works)
I plan on eventually writing up a pwm based class due to the problems teams have had with this sensor and the onboard i2c port.
FIRST prides itself on safety. It shouldn't be limited to only the pit area. - sanddrag [more]
