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.

Re: [oopic] Re: A2D10 Sonar Problem

If you read the documentation for this SONAR carefully you'll see that
they can be set to trigger sequentially to hopefully remove the
multi-path reflection problem that you appear to be seeing. Another way
is to simply only allow them to trigger after a meaningful signal has
been received from previous ones. SONAR use if fraught with this type
of problem. For close ranges indoors (or not in full daylight) I like
to use the Sharp IR sensors. They have some problems with oblique angle
deflection errors, but not multi-path. Or, and this is probably the
best answer, use both and compare values to come to an agreement upon
what is being sensed.
I saw mention of the Devantech SONARs, these are good items that allow
multiple reflections to be seen and recorded - But then you have to
figure out what the data means! Sensor interpretation is _very_tricky.
