Ping mapping

I was searching around and ran into post·I believe it was on here, that had the Ping sensor, and used it to display what is was seeing through the TV or VGA port. Can anyone point me to that direction. Thanks

There's a program for the Basic Stamp called PINGdar (like radar) that uses the DEBUG window of the Stamp Editor for displaying what's seen by a PING on a servo mount for a BoeBot. I believe there's a link to it on the PING product page. I don't know if it was translated to Spin for the Propeller. It shouldn't be hard to do.

I have this using the ramping,

PRI pingScan 
  servo.set(pServo, 1500)
  repeat
    SERVO.SetRamp(pServo, 2000, 1000)          'Pan Servo
    repeat 1500000                            'Do nothing here just to wait for background ramping to complete
    SERVO.SetRamp(pServo, 1000, 1000)          'Pan Servo
    repeat 1500000

but I am forgetful and havent coded in awhile how would you do this manually? This is what I have so far

PRI scan | servoPos
  servo.set(pServo, 1500)
  repeat servoPos from 1500 to 2000 step 200
    servo.set(pServo, servoPos)

Trying to get it to scan the full 180 degrees
