Hello,

I am trying to find a sonar for the MIT 6.270 Robot Controller Board.
I found directions on the MIT ftp site on how to use the Radio Shack
Tape Measure as a sonar with the 6.270 board. However, the directions
are not complete enough for me to make it work. Has anyone else
made this device to work with the 6.270 board? Any information would
be helpful.

Also, has anyone interfaced the Polariod sonars with the 6.270 board?
Any details on where the Polariod sensor is available, how much it
costs, etc. would be great. I also haven't found any code that shows
how to control the sensor from the 6.270 board.

Are there any other alternatives to the two I mentioned above? I am
looking for something inexpensive (it is for a class project).

Thanks,

Niranjan
