(...) The frequency at which air is best matched is about 40kHz, several things with this: - low resolution because of the low frequency - going to take more power to get a given range of detection than using a commercial grade unit (works at 40kHz) (...)

(...) Indeed. 24khz for audio is too low. It should be at least 40khz if it's using sound. (btw, what frequencies do bats use?) >> Mark (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Many different ones, ranging from clearly audible to much more than 40kHz. Depends on what they're doing. -- -- Open Forge, LLC 24/365 Onsite Support for PCs, Networks, & Game Consoles 512-695-4126 (Austin, Tx.) help@open-forge.com (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Right. The word ultrasonic means "higher than sonic" or above the 40KHz top end of the audible range. These are sonic proximity sensors, FWIW. - Chris. (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
