Yup.  I loaded the sonar.c file and ran the sonar_display() routine.  It
just displays values that make no sense.  The sonar doesn't click and the
diodes get hot.  After recieveing some mail from other, I have come to the
conclusion that the diodes are hooked up properly.  What could be causing
the heat?  Is there a short somewhere?

Thanks all,
Mike

I finished hooking up my 6500 sonar tonight, and it does nothing.
Actually, the Handy Board's BATT light comes on, which indicates to me that
there is a short some where along the lines.  I checked my wiring and
everything seems to be okay.  I did accidently plug in the power to the
sonar backwards.  Is is possible I fryed something?

Any suggestions?  How does one know when it works, as I believe someone
mentioned they heard their's click.

Thanks much,
Mike Reiling


I know its a silly question, but you have loaded the software to control
it haven't you?

Sure did. I used a ceramic disk capacitor... Hope that was okay to use. I just can't find what the problem is with the ranging board. For all I know, it has never worked. This is my first attempt at using it. There really isn't a whole lot to the (...) (27 years ago, 17-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
