Using a ping sensor with the adafruit motor shield
Does someone have a diagram, photo, or tutorial of the wiring of the SainSmart Ultrasonic Module HC-SR04 Distance sensor? I am using an Adruino UNO with the adafruit motor shield stacked on top. Thanks for any advice.

We don't have one. Your best bet is to check with SainSmart.

Re: Using a ping sensor with the adafruit motor shield
You can find lots of references on the web if you search for 'hc-sr04'. I found this one to be the simplest without using a library: http://trollmaker.com/article3/arduino- ... nic-sensor.
Using a library might be the right way to go long-term. But I liked seeing the bare mechanics for my own understanding before proceeding with my full project. Especially with something as simple to use as the HC-SR04.
The Adafruit sensors are probably more accurate and durable than the SainSmart unit. But the hc-sr04 is a lot less expensive.
