Example Programs and Applications
BASIC Stamp 2
This circuit allows you to quickly connect your PING))) sensor to a BASIC Stamp
Education
Vdd, and the SIG pin connects to I/O pin P15. This circuit will work with the example BASIC Stamp
program listed below.
Extension Cable and Port Cautions for the Board of Education
If you are connecting your PING))) sensor to a Board of Education platform using an extension cable,
follow these steps:
