Re: School Project: Help needed

All,

Can someone point me to the right direction. For an engineering class,
I must design and create a project to help the blind using
sonar/echolocation. Any websites or any direction at all would be
useful.

Thanks in advance.

That's a pretty broad subject, and not one that you're going to be able to tackle fully as a class project -- which means that what you're _really_ being asked to do is some little part of it.

First, I'd listen closely to what the prof has to say -- he may be giving you the parameters of the project without being explicit about it (I hate that).

Second, he wants you to do something with SONAR, probably ultrasonic. I'd web search on SONAR, ultrasonic, possibly 'ultrasonic range finding'.
