| A while back there was a discussion on cheap sonar. I was wondering if anyone has tried the sonar device from this page (URL) . If someone has tried it, could you tell me what you think of it, and if you ran into any problems using it. Also, I just (...) (29 years ago, 30-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
