"Ugggghhh! I hate soldering! In an attempt to solder the jumpers one of those little thingies next to the jumper came off! After 30 minutes, I finally found it again. Instead of totally destroying the board, Chris, can I send this to someone to…"

"Hey TJ, where do you fly? Looks like a nice big field. I'm in the Boston area as well. Thanks"
"Ughhhhh!! Damn! I hate soldering. Have to order a new board!!!!! I think I ruined mine...."
I have the Maxbotix XL EZ4. Whenever I try using the rangefinder tests I get weird results in the serial console. What type of data should I be seeing? What results are other people getting?ThanksLee
