I haven't had the same poblems, but I have a theory as to your problem.
There are two probabilities:
1) The motor is causing too much noise and is interfering with the
sonar, or
2)The motor is giving off electrical noise (i.e. electromagnetic waves)
which are interfering with the circuitry.

Hi, I have some motor trouble. I have two motors. I have a polaroid sonar. When I run one of the motors, the sonar works. When I run the other motor, the sonar's detected distance jumps arround randomly. The randomness seems to be more at higher (...) (30 years ago, 19-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
