Hi there- Im using the radar panel.

I just want something simple, detect object, back up, then turn and continue.

I have been searching the forum and searching no luck yet.

Thank you for looking.

hi

here's a topic about that sensor . it seems you need a voltage regulator .

My sensor - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JG09DCK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Connected to digital ports. D6 and D7

hi

what happens when you check the box "only scan forwart " ?

It jerks left and right moving closer to the target with only scan fwd. But doesnt do circles.

Thats with No reverse before turn

With reverse before turn enabled it detects and jerks left to right backing up some then spins.

there's another checkbox on the right for distants . you can try lower the number by half and see what happens.

Same thing is going on.

I can try another sensor.

If I scrip it pings are solid-

while(true){

var x = Ping.get(D6, D7); print(x); sleep(500);

}

Tested regulator 5v true with meter.
