This kind of sensor can read 360 degrees around a robot. In cars they sense a CHANGE in doppler effect of a microwave signal ping. If your robot is still maybe you could use it as sort of a motion detector for when someone walks by.
@moviemaker - this thread should not have been marked as requiring assistance. it doesn't have anything to do with EZ-Robot. It has nothing to do with asking for help. Tsk tsk
Hey, I don't mind DJ if you want to remove that credit from me.... I really didn't do anything but go to the eBay listing and read up on what the device was... @Moviemaker could have easily done the same thing and got his own answer...
I always think in terms of robots and I always imagine that the EZB will be working with whatever I have. I have two arduinos collecting dust in the closet and about 4 or 5 Basic Stamps. I will NEVER go back to those obsolete processors.
Mel, I covered microwave sensors a week back I also talked about electromagnetic sensor (very interesting sensor) and (very low cost and accurate) 4 zone ultrasonic sensor arrays (vehicle parking sensor hack) which I use for navigation/obstacle detection. Check through the last pages of this thread.
