I set the first sonar and it works great and haven't noticed a time out on it.
It prints to screen as long as I obstruct it.
But I try to initialize the 2nd sonar and both sonars go dead or the first one goes out and the second one prints to screen.
It's got to be my programming.

Does anyone have an example I could look at?
