Hello everybody,
For a school project, I'm building a robot, wich must be able to
detect obstacles. For that purpose, I've arranged 5 polaroid camera's
with sonar ranging modules inside it. There are a lot of tutorials at
the internet, describing how to use the sonar. The only problem is,
that the modules used for the tutorials aren't the same as the ones I
have. I have got the Polaroid SX-70 version 2 camera's.

I've made pictures of the module, and I hope somebody can tell me how
to connect the boards to my computer.
You can download them from

I hope someone can help me, because the project has to be finished in
a couple of weeks, and I can't find a way out…

Thank you in advance!

Greetings,

This is an aviation News Group, while some of the members may also be
interested in computers and robots, you would get more useful
information on a robotics Newsgroup.

don't bother me with insignificiant nonsence such as spelling,
I don't care if it spelt properly
