Newbie here
Hi every one i have been member for a while now and have finally collected all the parts needed to complete fritz start here robot.
Every thing is the same apart from im using a 28x2 picaxe instead of the 28x1 picaxe,also using the ultrasonic sensor pictured above instead of the SRF05.
i have followed the walk through on https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/66 for the SRF05 sensor and translated the wires to my sensor as followed:
wire srf05 mine
black ground 0v gnd
blue trigger input trigger
yellow echo output echo
red 5v supply vcc
i also used the basic program from https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/66 and nothin happens????????
here is the spec for the sensor:
Description:
- The modules includes ultrasonic transmitters, receiver and control circuit
- Its stable performance and high ranging accuracy make it a popular module in electronic market
- There are 5 pins out of the module, VCC, Trig, Echo, GND and OUT
- Best performance in 30 degrees angle
- Electronic brick compatible interface
- Dual transducer
- Arduino library ready
Specifications:
- Voltage: DC 5V
- Current: 15mA

i am hoping some one can point me in the right direction.
