Ultrasonic Sensor Returns Random Values on External Power Supply

2021-11-08

So i tried to used a stable 5V input on the 5V input pin and got the same more or less random values (jumping all around... especially on targets more than 1m away) So I changed form newPing lib ( to Ultrasonic lib ( the values are correct on each power supply and even more accurate on high distance than with newPing on USB power supply.

Don't know whats broken with the newPing v1.7 lib -.- but this works!

my Problem is, that I get random values from my ultra sonic sensor if my arduino is connected to any external power supply (vin port 30) on my arduino nano.

If I power up from the laptop usb port, I get consistent values.

I have tested 3 different power supplies between 7-17V and up to 2000mA.

I have tested this on 2 different nano boards.

Also tested with an extra 2000uF capacitor between vin and gnd

pls help if you got an idea :)
