Hello, im am new to the boe bot and i have one with the ping))) and ping))) bracket. I have seen some people been able to make it wander around autonomously and i was wondering if their is any code out there for it because i have been unable to find one. I can't write one because i don't even know where i would start so if any of you all could help me then it would be greatly appreciated.

    As always, start with the manual and go from there. You can also Google "roaming with ping"

    One of the best selling points for Parallax is the amount of support and samples. Try looking in the store at the listing for the ping bracket at the samples provided there.

    I have posted quite an extensive guide to a robot I made using the BS2 and the 'Ping)))' ultrasonic rangefinder HERE. I also made a second version of that one (but using the Arduino) HERE. Hope that helps!

    I've used a "PING" on My gate opener with no IR devices for about 3 years. My youngest Son has used a "PING" on His Boe for about 2 years with out a IR device. The point is " just because everybody Else does it this way " does not make it necessary for All to do it that way. To be Honest the IR devices are a bit aggravating to use since most of Us use Hi-Efficient lamps in Our houses today,The Hi-Eff. Lamps Make so much noise in the Operating range of the IR devices that their about useless!

    Stick with the PING
