Hi guys, I have a strange problem. I have a small rover type robot that is controlled by a OOPic-R microcontroller. The problem is that the Devantech SFR05 Sonar Detectors have suddenly stopped working. When ever I plug them in something in the controller board starts making a high pitched squeaking sound. At first when this happened, the LED on the back of the sonar device would flash bright, then go very dim, but not go out. But now nothing happens. I have been running the oopic on a 9 Volt 200 mA transformer which seems to work for the oopic, but I don't know about the sonar. I have verified that the I/O lines that I am using work. Also the board makes the squeaking sound even if the signal lines are not plugged in and just the ground and 5V lines are plugged in. What happened? and If this in normal then what sonar detectors would you suggest?
Thanks
