Hi everyone. I have purchased a Parallax ping sensor because it comes with a black Lexan holder that mounts the ping plus IR sensor.
I was wondering, it comes with three wires not 4 as the EZB one. I have an EZB ping sensor I received with my EZB v3 developer kit. I may have to see if it would fit the holder.
I have attached the link for the Parallax sensor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
outputs of the servo pins etc, if so yes that is OK.
I've just done this putting a 5v Reg to the SF04 ultrasonic unit, works just fine!
Yes that should be fine. I just checked the parallax ping voltage and I can confirm it is +5 VDC so your golden. Just to confirm what Richard said, the trigger and Echo use the same signal pin, which in some ways is better as it frees up a digital port compared to using a 4 wire one.
You connect the power and ground to an analog power pin A0 for example
and the signal pin to the EZ-B digital port. The example I've attached, I connected the signal pin to D2.
I know it isn't good form but it works and you don't need the regulator.
