Re: pin digital_read

jimmo - brilliant - that code works! Many thanks for your help. Your notes on the bit:bot are extremely useful as well. On your github pages for ncss-embedded is there something I need to have installed so the equations show properly? In my browser they just show as the text eg \begin{equation} V_{t...

Re: pin digital_read

Thanks for the replies. I loaded lugo's code onto the bitbot and it just returns -1 all the time, which means it's timing out while waiting for the pulse to finish. Not quite sure what this means. I would suspect the batteries except for the fact that the same bitbot will return ultrasonic distances...

I know it works using the same pin for both because this code in Java PXT returns the distance (albeit not very accurately): basic.forever(function () { basic.showNumber(Math.round(bitbot.sonar(BBPingUn...
