Since 8" is the 'minimum' distance the board can see, I strongly
suspect that your transducer isn't sufficiently damped. This will
cause it to continue 'ringing' after the pulse is sent and when
the receiver switches on, its still vibrating so it sees that as
an echo. How is the transducer mounted?
Another possibility is that you are pulling 'blank inhibit' low
for some reason (you have to do this if you want to read closer
than the default for the board and so you never get the 'rest'
period where the transducer is settling down.

Someone sent out a mail earlier this week, and I had mine hooked up just like it said. I (...) (28 years ago, 20-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
