BW1
Pin 1, leave open or hold low for serial output on TX; hold high to make TX output a pulse for low-noise chaining, per MaxBotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ datasheet.
Type · Control
PW2
Pin 2 pulse-width range output, 147 us per inch, per MaxBotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ datasheet.
Type · SignalVoltage · 0-Vcc pulse-width output
AN3
Pin 3 analogue range output, scaled at Vcc/512 volts per inch and buffered to the most recent range data.
Type · AnalogVoltage · Vcc/512 volts per inch, about 9.8 mV/in at 5 V or 6.4 mV/in at 3.3 V
RX4
Pin 4 ranging control input. Internally pulled high; left unconnected or held high for continuous ranging, held low to stop ranging, pulse high for 20 us or more to command a reading.
Type · UARTVoltage · logic referenced to Vcc
TX5
Pin 5 serial output when BW is open/low: ASCII R plus three range digits and carriage return at 9600 baud, 8N1; sends a pulse instead when BW is high.
