MB1030 LV-MaxSonar-EZ3 MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor
MB1030 LV-MaxSonar-EZ3 MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor
MB1030 is the fantastically easy to use sensor from Maxbotix. We are extremely pleased with the size, quality, and ease of use of this little range finder. The serial interface is a bit odd (it’s RS232 instead of standard TTL), but the PWM and Analog interfaces will allow any micro to listen easily enough. The sensor provides very accurate readings of 0 to 255 inches (0 to 6.45m) in 1-inch increments with little or no dead zone!
Maxbotix is offering the EZ0, EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and EZ4 with progressively narrower beam angles allowing the sensor to match the application. Please see beam width explanation below.
Control up to 10 sensors with only two pins!
The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ3 is a narrow beam sensor with good side object rejection. The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ3 has slightly wider beam width than the MB1040 LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ4 which makes it a good choice for when the LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ4 does not have enough sensitivity for the application.
