    Greetings all, I'm using a homebuilt sonar based on Kam Leang's design, which seems to be working quite well. I just have one question with regard to the timing on the input port. I'm using the same sonar driver as for the polaroid - right now I (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
   
        Re: Ultrasonic maximum timing —Will Bain
     (...) I think the register maxes out at 32767. Since it's a 2 MHz processor, this gives: (32767 cycles) / (2,000,000 cycles/second) = 0.01638 seconds Up here in the Rocky Mountains, the speed of sound is about one centimeter every 143 (...)

   (...) Except that I don't think it counts at 2Mhz, rather I think it counts at 500Khz (2 / 4 = ECLK) (I may be totally off base here, since I've not read the pink book in about 6 years) that would put your max at 32767/500000 = .0655 at 1000 ft/sec (...)
