Re: [oopic] Re: A2D10 Sonar Problem

Do you have additional capacitors on those power lines? Most sensors
spike current when they fire. I usually put a 100uf cap on the power
bus right where the sensors link to power and a .1uf as well. The
former provides energy when a large demand is called for and the latter
removes any high-frequency noise that the sensor might generate to avoid
messing with the reading.
