I'm sorry for ANOTHER stupid question, but I'm having a REEEALLY hard time following the Tutorials and searching for help in the forums here. I've just attached my ultrasonic distance sensor to my EZ-B4, but I can't figure out how to do anything with it. At this point, I just want to have my robot navigate autonomously (which, to the best of my knowledge, should be a fairly simply process) before moving on to more complex tasks, but I've got no idea how to proceed from here. What do I need to do to figure this out?

Ultrasonic Distance
by Synthiam
Displays HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance readings in ARC; scriptable via GetPing(), pausable, sets a variable with multiplier, optional NMS output
Ultrasonic Radar
by Synthiam
Ultrasonic on a servo sweeps 180°; radar shows distances and obstacles, integrates with movement panels for automatic avoidance, scriptable GetPing
Ultrasonic Collision Detection
by Synthiam
Stops robot movement (no steering) when an EZB-connected ultrasonic sensor detects an object within a set range; integrates with scripting and paused polling.
No, I can't connect to the Adventurebot, the arrow keys work fine when I'm not trying to use the ultrasonic, and the original Robie Sr. wheels that I'm using aren't an issue.
And now my camera's not connecting... Wtf?...
hi bobsheaux
do you save your project on your pc?and maybe you can take a new window ultrasonic. check the cabke from your camera bolt sides.
Yes, I save my project constantly.
And as near as I can tell, the connection of the cable on both ends of my camera is perfectly fine.
maybe its possible you have a bad download .you can remove it and redownload it. also i read some post about the camera cable.solution is to turn the cable 180 degree.
No, it's still not connecting.
can you try another camera window?
Okay, THAT worked, THANK YOU. lol
And I guess I'll poke around what the other tutorials have to say about the ultrasonic sensor.
