First play with the matbotix sonar sensor.

Today, I finally got to the local electric store before they had closed. I had to get a soldiering iron and some pcb headers. I soldiered the headers to the sonar sensor, and plugged it into my breadboard. This setup is very nasty at the moment, but i wanted to know if this was going to work for me. I have been doing a little reading and found a few useful links.

Info from a matbotix guy (and filtering).

Next step is to hock up the sd card and store the data.
