Re: sonar sensor in inches I don't believe there's a way you can. But a quick little function will take care of that for you.
At least I assume it works... Let me know if it does  _________________ A.K.A. inxt-generation Self-proclaimed genius, and future world dominator. My Brickshelf Folder "Don't they teach recreational mathematics anymore?" - The Tenth Doctor Bow down to Nikola Tesla, King of the Geek Gods. |

Re: sonar sensor in inches The virtual worlds only returns the value in centimeters. Like NeXT-Generation suggested, you can convert the value. I haven't tested his code but I suspect that you'll want the return type to be a float, not a byte.

Re: sonar sensor in inches You might, but I was thinking that if you're going with decimals of inches you might as well be using centimeters.

Re: sonar sensor in inches Agreeing with NeXT-Generation. The code snippet provided is more than adequate, and if you're annoyed by it just add another one like "readUS()" which outputs in inches.
