HRLV-MaxSonar-EZ MB1013 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

High-resolution ultrasonic sensor with 1mm accuracy, temperature compensation, easy outputs, and low power. Supports analog, RS232, TTL, and pulse width outputs.

TEMP1
Pin 1 temperature sensor connection for optional HR-MaxTemp external temperature sensor; leave unconnected when not used, per MaxBotix HRLV-MaxSonar-EZ datasheet.
Type · signal
PW2
Pin 2 pulse-width distance output, 1 microsecond per mm, with 300 us to 5000 us output range for 300 mm to 5000 mm, per datasheet.
Type · signalVoltage · logic output referenced to sensor Vcc/GND
AN3
Pin 3 analog voltage distance output, scaled at Vcc/1024 per 5 mm and referenced to GND pin 7, per datasheet.
Type · analogVoltage · 0 V at power-up; distance voltage depends on Vcc, about 293 mV to 4.885 V for 300 mm to 5000 mm when powered at 5 V
RX4
Pin 4 ranging start/stop input; internally pulled high. Hold low to stop ranging, bring high for 20 us or longer to command a range reading, per datasheet.
Type · signalVoltage · logic input referenced to sensor Vcc/GND
