Has anyone hacked the sonar out of a sonar tape measure?  Radio Shack
sells sonar tape measures for about $25.00, that's half the price of buying

the transducer and sensor together.
I mentioned in a previous posting that I am interested in running six
sonar sensors off of the parallel port of a PC.  Therefore, the hack would

need to where I would connect to the parallel port from the measuring tape

board.


Some time ago I did come across a site that talked about hacking a sonar tape
measure. I can't remember where I saw it but I am confident that I had
encountered
it by searching "sonar" on one of the major search engines. You could be more
specific by using "sonar tape measure".
