I am using Bumblebee radar, I adjust the potentiometer to extend the detection range to 6 meters. As I read in user manual, I can ground the J1-4 pin to maximize the detection range, and I connected J1-4 to U2B, but It does not work.
Hope someone can tell me how to solve the problem.

    If all you want to do is maximize range using the potentiometer is the recommended method. Simply turn it fully clock-wise and leave J1-4 floating.

    J1-4 is for automated range control from a DAC (e.g. from a microcontroller). If this is what you want to do I will need more information. I don't understand what you mean exactly by "U2B", that is a part, not a net. Can you connect a ground from your power supply to J1-4? Secondly, when it doesn't work, what happens instead? Does the whole radar fail or it works but you think the range is not correct?

    It occurs to me that by "U2B" you meant U28 on a Tmote Sky, and hopefully one of the DAC pins. Can you verify that the DAC is pushing 0v, and if its not working, what is happening instead?
