The consensus seems to be: place them up front and let them "cross firelines". So the right one looks a bit left and the left one looks a bit right. Also make sure they are not way up front. Place them (if possible) a bit further back. That way you will prevent an incorrect reading when objects are REALLY close by.
I could be wrong here, and I could be wrong here, and perhaps you already know this, but I want to make sure you know what in the programming you should not fire the two ultrasonic sensors at the same time (or very close together) or they might hear the signal sent by the other sensor and you’ll have incorrect measurements.
Started building a robot. Started building a robot. With the “hard paper” of the box and lot’s of tape, it’s quite solid. Motors is already mounted with L293D on breadboard, breadboard is “glued” to robot. The AtMega8 is still sitting and two SRF 04 still need to get mounted.
