Mar,
You might want to try attaching a small (0.1uF) capacitor to the motor
leads as close as possible to the motor. Use a ceramic or monolithic
ceramic capacitor. That might reduce the motor noise your sonar board
sees. Also remember that even though you are using different power
supplies, they probably share the same ground. Inexpensive toy motors
ofter generate the worst noise, and are the cause of all kinds of weird
behavior.

| Here's the motor I used so you all know not to buy it. Barber-Coleman FYQF 63310-9 12V DC If anyone has had any experience with this one or its siblings, please share your thoughts. I would be grateful for any further info. :) ---...--- ericson mar (...) (27 years ago, 23-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
