James Hall commented on rad man's blog post Short Range I.R. Radar
"Marcus, I just wrapped a project of using a ultrasonic sensor by maxbotics that has a 255 inch range. Works pretty well but required me to program a filter to get rid of some noise variance."

James Hall replied to Antoine Bercovici's discussion Helicopter UAV based on a Raptor 30
"Outstanding! I have Raptor 30 as well and I am working on mine little by little. Board looks great! How much did it set you back for the PCB work?"

"Excellent! I am sure you will have some fun. I have the propeller and I just ordered a better ultrasonic range finder that is suppose to be less noisy than say the PING module from Parallax. If you need any sample code for the bs2 just let me know.…"

Anyone know which IR sensor would work best for measure low altitude over grass? Ultrasonics appears to be useless to the scattered random reflection but I have heard IR works good.
