I just got my parallax ultrasonic distance sensor (#28015) and I have the "test code" running as I type, but how do I use it to warn my robot of walls?

P.S I am using an Arduino diecimila.

Picaxe 18 and Ping

By jgillick

June 22, 2008

I just picked up a Parallax Ping distance sensor from my local Radio Shack and am trying to figure out to how hook it into my Picaxe 18 project board.

The ping uses a single pin for both input and output.  It first requires a trigger pulse to be sent and then it responds with a variable length pulse that determines the distance.  Can a Picaxe pin be switched from output to input?  If not, can I connect 2 pins to the single Ping pin?  Normally I would jut go ahead and try it, but I don't want to fry my Picaxe or the sensor.
