Hi, Wouldn't it be possible to wire them both to the same input port and turn on the one that you want information from and turn the other off? For example, the polaroid sonar data states that you can control turning on and off the device, so you (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) There is a little strip of four pins for external battery power and are available with the standard battery pack installed. Two of these are battery positive, two are at ground. Shorting them out is a good way to let the smoke genie loose. (26 years ago, 28-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Note that sonar in air is susceptible to the same environmental issues as sonar anywhere. In particular it is susceptible to changes in temperature and changes in air pressure. Both of which create a boundary layer that reflects some of the energy. (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
