Ping Command

Hello all,


I have and idea for a new project that would utilize the SX as a ruler and would have some other features. In reading one post someone mentioned, "For example, you can calculate distances faster using the PING which translates to higher accuracy."

Can someone please provide me with some information or where I can find some examples on the PING command? It is not in the SXB help file so it must be an assembly instruction or routine. (I wish there was an assembly help file.) I could not find any reference to PING in 'Programming the SX Mirocontroller' book.


Thanks,
Jim W.

    Jim,
    He was referring to the PING))) ultrasonic distance measuring module.
    He meant that with the SX you can get greater resolution than you can with the BS2.
    There is no PING command.

    Thanks, I should have figured that out. In the context of the quote I thought it could be a command.

    Best Jim W.
