Receiving weird values back from PING))) sensor

Necromancer

Hi,

I've been trying to get my PING))) sensor working on my bot, using the BOE and the PING mounting kit.

I have it installed and it appears to be working (LED's flashing at the right times, etc.) however, the distance values I'm getting back seem to be bogus values.

Does anyone have any idea why I would be getting values such as these instead of numbers?

Scanning Full Left returns a distance of /
Scanning 45 Degrees to the Left returns a distance of Z
Scanning the Center returns a distance of

You need to add a formatter on your DEBUG statements to convert the value stored in the word variable distance to a human readable number. IE DEBUG "Scanning Full Right returns a distance of ", DEC distance, CR

Thanks - that was it!

I'm getting real values now.
