Which ultrasonic sensors are·more effective when it come to building a robot that will work both outside and inside?. I mean which sensor will detect an oject faster and furthest. Is analog better? is digital better?

thanks you for your time.

    Do you have a list of ultrasonic sensor·brands/models·you're considering for purchase?

    Work inside? Work outside? What kind of work must it do? And, what conditions (of temperature, humidity, wind, dirt and dust, etc etc do you plan to operate it in?

    Do you have any idea what sort of object you wish to detect?

    Do you have some idea of the distances over which you wish to detect the object(s)?

    Analog? Digital?· What parts of the sensing and interpretation system are you thinking of being analog or digital?·· Better for what· --what must the system do?
