Hi Guys, What are my options for long distance range finders on a Mini2440 (or similar)? I have found many solutions (Ultrasonic) for upto ~10m but what about upto maybe 100m? Could a range finder be used for collision detection? Thanks.
Hi Garreth Typically they use laser for long range. Try a more appropriate forum. Sean
Hi Sean, I was really hoping someone knew of something that worked with a mini2440 "out the box". There is a lot about short range out there. Thanks, I'll go hit up Google again. Regards, Garreth

Thanks Paul. That is a little extreme for my purpose. I have just been told that I cannot use lasers which changes my plans a little. My goal is to work out what obstacles are within range and how far they are away. Sort of a rudimentary collision control system. The outer range would probably be under 150m which seems to rule out ultrasonic. If anyone has any thoughts I'd be interested in discussing ideas. I know there are some smart thinkers on here. Thanks, Garreth
