Found a use for 6 Cell Li-MH battery.

While testing my sonic range sensor with a common Panasonic 9V battery, I've noticed that the battery is not capable of supplying enough current to operate both SSC-32 and my sonic range sensor at the same time.
I was a little hesitant to use the 6 Cell Li-MH battery due to its weight (~300g), but more pros than cons.
So I will use it to power SSC-32 and all other sensors. Plus, I'm kind of glad my money isn't wasted =]

Edit:

Having said all that above, I also realized a strong possibility that the serial communication error is caused by this issue as well, not because of a broken solder joint.
When I get a chance I will look into this. I hope this will fix my issue(s) because if it doesn't, I think I might have a defective sonic range sensor which costs approx. $45.
