The polaroid documentation mentions that a 4.7K resistor should be placed

The sensor connectors on the HB already have pullup resistors on the signal
inputs (as I recall they were 47K), so you shouldn't need to add an
additional pullup.  If you want to make sure, just check the signal
connection with a voltmeter to verify that it's close to 5V when the sonar is
not being pinged.

I checked the ECHO signal and found it to be at 2.0V when plugged into TIC3 on the HB. I also applied a pull-up resitor which did send ECHO to 5V when not pinging. However, in both cases, I still had seemingly random positive and negative values (...) (26 years ago, 6-Aug-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
