Does anyone know of a library that will work with a Dagu Mini Driver (Arduino NG AtMega 8) and an HC-SR04? At first I thought I must have two sensors that are dead, but when I hook them up to an Arduino they work fine.
I tried our friend Google, but none of the ultrasonic libraries list if they are backwards compatible to the AtMega 8. I tried two different libraries and neither seems to work. I tried different pins, still no joy.
Thanks in advance,

That code is almost exactly
That code is almost exactly the same code I got from one of the libraries I tried. That code didn’t work and this code doesn’t work either. I get 0 for ranges no matter what I do.
I copy and pasted the code into my IDE, so not a code issue. I then hooked up one of my Arduino Unos and the code worked. I tried another Mini Driver, and still no joy. I swapped inputs for trigger and echo, tested to make sure I had power at the sensor (4.9 volts Vcc is +, Gnd is - so kind of hard to mess up). I was using the USB port for power which should be more than enough but hooked up an external power supply to make sure power wasn’t an issue. I am using Arduino 1.02 IDE and using the Visual Micro plug-in within Visual Studio 2010. I used this setup earlier this week and had the bot working with the built in FET H bridge on the board running around my kitchen. The bot has bumper switches which worked so I am using the right row of pins for the inputs/outputs. It seems it is only the ultrasonic code that it doesn’t want to work on.
Could it be a jumper, bad version of software, or something silly like that?
