I have a PING))) ultrasonic rangefinder and I want to use it with my Robonova-1. The problem is the SONAR command requires 4 pins but the PING))) has three pins only. Any suggestions or work-arounds? Thanks.

The only example I saw using the Ping sensor used a stamp as the interface. Easier to get a compatible Sonar.

Thanks.

Edit: can you suggest a specific ultrasonic distance sensor? the SFR04's blind zone is too large (30 cm)!

SRF05 works much better than the SRF04. I use them on my walking robots
