You may go one port down
You may go one port down from the Direct Digital output (blue wire in his schematic) but you have to change the begining of the code where you define the input/output

experiment, keep changing
experiment, keep changing ports lower and lower, until you get a signal

 

 

EDIT: Keep changing the trig until your Picaxe reads it

EDIT#2: check the hot to connect SRF05 to Picaxe, the code there should do it no?

Its a bit confusing at first

Its a bit confusing at first but once you understand the script it’s as bright as day. I recommend reading the PICAXE manuals eventually. Theyre not so bad a read.

I’m assuming you have wired your sonar based on the tutorial for wiring the SRF05 to the PICAXE 28 chip?

All that you will need to change to start in Fritsl’s script is the variables for

symbol trig = 3 ‘ Define output pin for Trigger pulse
symbol echo = 6 ‘ Define input pin for Echo pulse

Towards the top of fritl’s script in all the variables you’ll see the trig and echo variables. They have different #s to them I think its like 0 and 4. Just change the variables to 3 and 6.

Looks Great

Looking good, glad to have been some help if you didnt figure it out before hand!

Looks kinda like a bunny more than a bug though =) with those zip ties sticking out like they are and the gms out the back!

Now you can move on and build a chasis or something more advanced! =)

Robot body styles
Think I’ve seen a robot body made out of a red plastic coffee container. And out if a green plastic pumpkin candy container. And out of a disposable sandwich container. And a metal candy tin. And a bicycle helmet. And salad bowls,
