Post by: Razor Concepts on February 12, 2010, 12:52:15 AM

When using the PING ultrasonic sensor, can you hear clicking or any kind of noise?

Main thing is to not read the sensor too fast. Ultrasound continues bouncing around for a while. So don't read quicker than, say, every 50ms else your current reading may get a bounce from an earlier ping.
