Where Does The Ultra Sonic Sensor Go?

I need help with this stuff, I'm not sure where to put the ultra sonic sensor in to on the EZ-B v4, which pins, what do I do on the ARC....Anything you know, please share... confused sickCan someone please take a pic of the ultra s on their board plugged in? I'm not a quick learner, and I learn better visually...... confused The videos for some reason are not helping me....


ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

It plugs into to any of the 24 digital ports of the eb4... For that ping you will need to use 2 ports.... There is also a voltage regulator you will need inline so that the ping gets only 5V... Do not plug it directly into the ezb4 board.... If you have the developer kit there will be the inline 5V regulator and all the wires you'll need in order to use it... See.... How to use the ping sensor

There are examples on this site and in ARC on how to use and program using the ping...

and here the video how to connect to ez-b4

I would advise against solder wires to your ping... I believe the developers kit has all the wires/cables/voltage regulator(s) you need to make the ping plug and play with the ezb4....

Richard is indeed correct. The sensor that comes with the dev kit does have the cables and regulator.

I believe the wiring to the v4 is... Green wire (trigger) > outside pin Red (Vcc) > middle pin Black (ground) > inside pin White (echo) > to another outside pin (Correct me if I'm wrong anyone)

The regulator is the small pc board with the black and red wires (as seen in nomads photo). Then follow the instructions on the video which tells you how to set the sensor up with ARC.
