The HRLV-MaxSonar-EZ sensor line is the fastest way to get precision range-finding into your computer. No microcontroller or adapter required, simply connect any micro B USB cable (not included) into the sensor and install the FTDI drivers to get serial sonar distance data via…
USB Micro-B connection used to power/interface the HR-USB-EZ1 sensor when a micro B USB cable is connected, per Adafruit product page.
USB ground return for the Micro-B connection used by the sensor.
USB data interface to the onboard FTDI serial connection; Adafruit says the sensor provides serial sonar distance data via serial on a computer after FTDI drivers are installed.
