I want to add ping sensors to my radio controlled platform.I want the ping sensors to stop the vehicle when something is detected but be able to override it after it stops,now where would I start with this? Do I use interrupts?I'm already running the code to transmit data from one arduino to another for the joystick and switch control but I'm not sure how or where to add the Ping sensor code.
but I'm not sure how or where to add the Ping sensor code.
Just add the ping test as one of your tasks in the state machine process that you should have used to write your program with.
You will want to ping regally but not when you over ride it. So you need an boolean "overRide" flag which you test before you do the pinging.
