[PD] Connection with sensors - new devices?

Yes, it seems better to code these microsecond pulses in the firmware
rather than letting Pd control this directly. Maybe at audio signal
rate this would be more satisfactory, I am not well-versed in this.

Our plan is to use 6 sensors, so we will attempt to modify the
existing ultrasound firmware to this end. I see no reason why it would
not work!
