<br>One
thing you really want to take into acount is the fact that sensors
interract with each others, you therefore need to chain them properly.<br>You might want to take a look at power filters too.<br>Maxbotix's tutorial page has been quite useful to me so far.<br><br>As to get the infos to pd, I've been using these sensors with a raspberry pi. <br>
My option has been to collect the data from the RPi's GPIO using python and then send them to pd using OSC. <br>I'm starting to write small tutorials explaining what I've been through, if you use the RPi too I'd be happy to point them to you.<br>
