  I'll state the obvious....
  1. check your batteries - try fresh new ones
  2. check your wiring
  3. check your wiring
  4. check your wiring
  
  ...you may also want to check your wiring

  Do you have the IR Sensors installed correctly?· The RoamingWithPING Code requires the RoamingWithIR setup first.

  I just got my PING))) module yesterday and had the same exact problem. Tried the code offered above in this thread and the PING))) worked great. Then I looked back through the "Roaming with PING v1.0" code and found a problem:
  
  - The PING))) code says that you must already have your BOE-bot set up for roaming with IR sensors as given in the Robotics with the BOE bot text book.
  - The Robotics with the BOE-bot text (I have version 1.5) has you install the IR LEDS as pins 1 and 7
  - The "Roaming with PING))) v1.0" code has the IR sensors at pins 2 and 8. Doh!
  
  Once I realised this, I changed those two parts of the code and it worked ok. If you set your BOE-bot up just like the "Robtics..." text then you should also change the speaker pin to 2 (I think it was at 4 in the PING))) code). Give that a try and see if it helps your problem too.

  The version 2.2 code was where I based the Roaming with IR code from.· It is using the same I/O pins.· In any event Ryan and Dave posted some code which doesn't use the IR Sensors...You could try it.
