What experience do people have with these, specificly? I suspect they wouldn't
interfere with each other, but I'm unsure of how well they will detect different
size targets. Anybody have personal stories? What is the refresh rate on either
sensors (3 ms? 30 ms? more?). What is the minimum size (I'm assuming angular
here) detectable (ie - does the frequency make a difference? Is it something
else)? How stable are the readings (variation with a fixed target at fixed
distance? What happens when you tilt/rotate the target)?
   Anybody have advice here? Testimonials?

I have no personla experiance of any ultrasonic range sensors (still waiting for
my sensor from HiTechnic). But I found this extensive test of the HiTechic
sensor.

  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 (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics)
