Ultrasound sensors on Diddyborg

Hi,

I stumbled upon this tweet which shows a Diddyborg with ultrasound sensors. Is there by any chance any documentation on how to build this setup?

There is not any proper documentation, but the changes are fairly simple.

Basically there is one ultrasonic mount per corner: https://www.piborg.org/accessories/usm_mount
Plus an UltraBorg to read the sensors: https://www.piborg.org/ultraborg

The two 3-pin cables are connected so that the PicoBorg Reverse and UltraBorg are daisy-chained together.

There is a simple example script here which uses the distances to control movement: https://www.piborg.org/node/1853
