This Forum is Dedicated For all The Object Oriented PIC Lovers .......... The concept behind OOPic is straight forward. Use preprogrammed multitasking Objects from a library of highly optimized Objects to do all the work of interacting with the hardware. Then write small scripts in Basic, C, or Java syntax styles to control the Objects. During operation, the Objects run continuously and simultaneously in the background while the scripts run in the foreground telling the objects what to do.

[oopic] Range Sensors

Hi,
Has anyone used the MaxSonar LV EZ1 range sensor before?

Due to an accident with too much bare capacitor legs causing a short
(It was an honest mistake honest!) I've managed to kill my Sharp
GP2d120's. For a replacement, I was thinking about using ultrasonic
instead of IR.

Firstly, is this a better way of object sensing?

Secondly what sensor to use? I am going to have 3 in total on the
front of my Rogue Blue ERS robot chassis.

The one I was looking at was:

This is due to it using a analogue voltage as an option (Which is
great for my OOBoard) I've looked at the Daventech ones but they seem
a lot more complicated to read from. (And the higher models require
I2C bus)

Are there better ones at around the same price as the MaxSonar?

Cheers,

Jas
