     I recently bought a Stanley ultrasonic measuring tape from a mail order
     catalog. I believe it was All Electronics or Altronics (The one with
     the flying genies on the front).  The cost was $14.95.  It has the 
     ultrasonic transmitter, a board and an lcd which displays the distance.
     The distance goes from about 2-30 feet somewhat reliably.   I believe
     that Stanley discontinued this product and these have been liquidated.
     I haven't opened it up yet and destroyed it.  Has anyone looked at one
     of these before.  Is it possible to use this board to interface with
     a microcontroller via the lines which go to the LCD?
