Hi! I recently got my HC SR04 sensor and tested it using NEW_PING library.I am using UNO R-3. Here's my code #include <NewPing.h> #define TRIGGER_PIN 12 // Arduino pin tied to trigger pin on the ultrasonic sensor. #define ECHO_PIN 11 // Arduino pin tied to echo pin on the ultrasonic sensor…

Consistent nothing means there is an open connection somewhere. One thing I have recently run into twice (two different sensors) on this device is the solder connection for the connection pins to the device's board somehow opens when soldering to the pins. For example the device would work in a bre…
