Thanks to everyone who helped me with this issue. Special thanks to Philo who
pointed the right direction to open the US Sensor. Now it's fixed and working
all right.
Finaly I got an answer from Lego support, but they told me there could be a
calibration issue:
(...)It is possible to calibirate the sensor values through the MINDSTORMS NXT
directly. It is also possible to download a calibration command and calibrate
your sensors while running a program on the NXT.(...)
Since my sensor working, it does not matter, but i get curious, because I could
not find none of the option above for the US sensor...
Anyone knows if there is a calibration method for the US sensor?
