  Re: converting binary to integer
 
(...) You can always read the port directly like so: (int) data = peek(0x7000); If the bits you're interested in happen to start with the 'least-significant- bit' (LSB) and continue consecutively (eg 0b00000111) where the 1's are the bits you're (...)

  Re: converting binary to integer
 
(...) Multiply each bit by 2^n, where n is the "place" of the number. Then add the products together. For example... 1011 = 1*2^0 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^3 = 11 The "zero" place is the one furthest to the right, and you work left from there. ---...--- (...)

Hi everyone, I have had the Polaroid sonar sensor working for a while and I just noticed some limitations in it.

you can do it on your fingers... each finger is a bit... no fingers is 0, pinky 1, ring 2, middle 4, pointer 8, etc... once you get it down, counting bits is a breeze... i (missing on finger) can count to 512... math is still pretty hard... but can (...)
