I already need to solder leads to a ultrasonic sender and receiver pairs. This is due to limited space inside the Omnibot 2000 claw housing. The idea is to sense when a object is inside the claw so it knows when its OK to grip closed. The spacing is already about 1/2" farther apart and from what I have read the sensors have about a 60 degree angle of view. Here are pics...
Any idea or info on how much angle is OK till cross talk is a problem? Thanks guys and info you find on the subject is helpful.
One side sends a sound out, the other hears it, it then uses the time taken for the "echo" to be heard and converts it to distance... in basic terms.
As far as I know they must be aligned parallel to each other otherwise they wont work.
