Many thanks to those who responded on my query on the
poloroid ultrasonic distance measuring unit. Several
suggested that I check out the units being sold at
hardware stores for < $20, which I intend to do.
I note also that in the current Circuit Cellar INK,
they have a "sonar ranging experimenter's kit" for
$79. They note that with a 5 v power supply it's TTL
compatible, measuring from 1.2" to 35' (but they don't
give an error range).
Having never built any of these (or other Circuit Cellar
kits), I wonder if anyone is familiar with them. How is
the quality of the kit? How fast is shipping? The do
promise that "you get a level of technical support unsurpassed
in the industry."
Please either respond directly or post here.
THANKS!
- Bob Wier
