I happened to be checking out your website today when I saw your latest project with the ultrasonic range finder mounted on a hat. How does it work? How much did you spend in building it? Would you be able to make one like the students in the other site you reference? I would be interested in your feedback to see if this is something that I could make to give to my friend. Thanks, Scott Greg,

I might try that. That’s a very good idea, Cyber Geek. I might try that.

Have you considered sound feedback (via an earpiece) you could change the pitch depending upon the distance measured or pauses between clicks. I would think that having clicks getting quicker as objects got closer would be cool. Rising pitch with increased closeness could give you a Thermin like effect when scanning an area.
