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.

EUREKA haha.try a very slow speed.if you put the ultrasonic on a servo, to turn left/right its more fun.
