Keith,
On the ftp site under ???/contrib/kent/sonar there should be a file
called sonartst.c This file tests the unit goven that you've included
sonar.icb in the initial loading of library files. The file simply
calls the ping(0) routine then waits for suggested msleep(35L), then
printf("inches=%d",sonar_time/150) To get feet just do the calculation
from inches.
Hope this helps.
