FIGURE 7.19
Finished SRF04
housing.

Figure 7.20 shows the SRF04 ranger mounted in the housing with
the jumper wire plugged into the header connector. Use 1/16-inch
thick aluminum stock to construct the neck mount that will con-
nect the ranger housing to the robot body. Follow the cutting,
bending, and drilling guide in Figure 7.21. When the neck mount
is completed, attach it to the front of the robot with a 6/32-inch
1/2-inch machine screw and locking nut, as shown in Figure 7.22.
Note that the 1-1/2 inch section of the neckpiece is attached to the
robot base. Attach the ultrasonic ranger housing to the neck using
a 6/32-inch 1/2-inch machine screw and locking nut.
