Maxbotix EZ1 MB1000 ultrasonic sensor with Java - Analog Input Help?
Our team (4505) is trying to use the Maxbotix MB1000 ultrasonic sensor on our bot, are there any suggestions for how to go about doing this by using an Analog Input? Any working example code? Below is the code we have now, is it a good starting point or should we start from scratch?
