Re: ping a device problem

Re: KY-037 KY-038 sound sensor for traffic counting

Maybe you can use one of those 'radar' sensors like the LD2401.
Those do also react to humans, but maybe you can set some thresholds based on measured distance?
Not sure how fast the cars drive by, so it might not respond fast enough as those are typically designed for detecting humans/animals.

Re: Counting time, calculate and display?

Yep, you can just schedule a looptimer via the rules to turn on/off a running (repeating) longpulse command.
In this periodical timer event you can check the fix status. If it has a fix you can be sure the received time is also correct.

But there are lots of ways to achieve the same. :)

If you had to connect GPIO-0 to GND, you must make sure to remove it after flashing and then power cycling the board.
It is probably still in flash mode as that's what you force with pulling GPIO-0 to GND.
