Hi-
Am having trouble getting the NXT ultrasonic sensor to hook up properly to the Bricktronics shield+Arduino.
My setup:
Standard bricktronics Arduino shield
Arduino Uno
Off-the-shelf NXT ultrasonic sensor hooked up to port 4 with pins 1+2 and 4+5 connected.
My symptoms:
I’ve had plenty of good performance with the motors hooked into the platform as above.
once I hook up the NXT ultrasonic sensor, the Arduino dies. Power light goes off and it’s totally non-responsive.
Once I unplug the sensor, the whole system comes back online.
Could really use some help. This is a project for my sons birthday and am pushing to get the prototype wrapped up soon.
Has anyone had any luck with the ultrasonic sensors?
Best wishes,
Kevin
