Pinout

  • BW1

    Pin 1. Leave open or hold low for serial output on TX; hold high for pulse output on TX for low-noise chaining.

    Type · controlVoltage · Logic level is 0-Vcc, per LV-MaxSonar-EZ datasheet.
  • PW2

    Pin 2. Pulse-width range output; distance scale factor is 147 us per inch.

    Type · signal
  • AN3

    Pin 3. Analogue voltage range output corresponding to the most recent range data.

    Type · analogueVoltage · Scale factor is 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. Range-command input. Left unconnected or held high for continuous ranging; hold low to stop ranging; bring high for 20 us or more to command a reading.

    Type · controlVoltage · Internally pulled high, logic level follows Vcc.
