Did anyone ever opened up a Polaroid Spectra
Instant camera?
I did. The sonar rangefinder is almost identical to the
Polaroid 6500 exept there are some problems that I encountered
1) BLNK and BINH have no efect on the ECHO output
2) The ECHO signal once received does not return to logic low until
power off
If anybody else ever got it to work please let me know!
If it works it sure beats paying $50 for the 6500.
I picked up the camera for $12 at a pawnshop.
