I don't believe that it is possible to change the frequency of the sensor, because it has a separate chip on it that regulates this. This is great for simplifying your arduino code, but without somehow flashing that chip with altered code, it's likely to be stuck with that freq! You may try to get

hi kyle hi marius, I used the different delay times in the arduino code to avoid crosstalking between the sensors. my idea was: when the arduino board checks the response of the sensor signals after different time intervals each individual sensor won´t react to signals from other sensors. but

Yes, please describe the physical configuration of the 5 sensors Marko. I am working on a similar project using 6 sensors, but we have not done much testing in our proper configuration yet. My guess is that since all the sensors are hard wired with a specific ping frequency, they will detect each

2007-06-03 Thread Marko Timlin
I am working with several ultra sound sensors called Ping from Parallax wired to an Arduino board that is connected to puredata. currently I am working with 3 sensors and it works fine. now I want to work with 5 sensors and the following problem occurs: - I get phantom values on sensors that are

Hi, your code and patch look good. It is not clear to me, why you are using these delaytimes for the different sensors. but that should not affect your results anyway. the minimum delaytime between two measurements is only 200microseconds. but maybe it also depends on the length of the
