Title: SeeedStudio Ultrasonic sensor
Post by: Canabots on October 27, 2010, 04:21:11 AM

Hello!

I was wonder if anyone knows if the SeeedStudio uses a similar trigger process to the Parallax PING sensor?

Thanks

Works like a Ping sensor, it needs 10us trigger pulse. I have one and tested it fine. The only thing that's missing is the LED that flashes when the pulse is triggered so you don't have a visual confirmation that the sensor is working.
