This page is a placeholder about ultrasonic sensors.
Most hobbyist robots use a commonly-available ultrasonics module that costs a few dollars.
SensComp Ultrasonics#
A more advanced sensor is available from SensComp, which uses a transducer similar to those found in the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar camera, circa 1978. These sensors are have a longer range and are more sensitive than their cheaper brethren. I contacted SensComp and received more information about their sensors. See the documents attached to this page.
SensComp offers a complete Development kit using the Arduino. This is the Smart Sensor Ultrasonic Development Kit For Arduino, attached is a spec sheet for the kit. I have also included the spec sheet for the Smart sensor itself which can also be purchased separately. Also attached is the code for the development kit.
