The Parallax Ping))) Mounting Bracket includes the servo, the aluminum brackets and complete hardware to mount a Ping))) on the front of the Boe-Bot (or any robot). By being able to move the Ping))) ultrasonic sensor, your BASIC Stamp can perform a quick 180-degree environmental scan to identify the distance and location of obstacles. With this information you can effectively navigate the path with few obstructions, or hone in on an object you would like follow.
Parallax offers this kit for a very low price to encourage robot enthusiasts to experiment with our Ping))) ultrasonic sensor. For the price of what many companies sell a Futaba S148 servo we’re providing the complete kit with free technical support. Download the documentation to review the parts included in this kit.
With the purchase of a few additional components identified in the documentation for this product you can also mount a Parallax Hitachi HM55B Compass Module on the same bracket.
