I have no personla experiance of any ultrasonic range sensors (still waiting for

  Re: Ultrasonic sensors - comparison & performance?
 
Hi, I own the 24Khz from Mindsensors. I have not played with it a lot, mainly because I cannot get useful behavoiur. The device works nearly as a binary detector, object present in xxx meter or no object. Minimum distance is around 30 and max about (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics)

I've been looking at ultrasonic sensors for the RCX - two seem currently availible, the 24 kHz one from Mindsensors, and the 40 kHz one from HiTechnic. What experience do people have with these, specificly? I suspect they wouldn't interfere with (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics)
