Hi, As many of you know, I am using a polaroid sonar to scan from side to side in an attempt to gather useful information for my robot. Before going too far...
I've seen some recent discussion on other lists concerning AC / DC adapters like the ones WalMart sells, but there's some subtlety here that I'm not...
