The LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 is a great choice for use where sensitivity is needed along with side object rejection. It is a great, low-cost starting place for a customer not sure of which LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensor to use. LV-MaxSonar-EZ products were the first low cost, high-quality ultrasonic distance sensors to offer easy to use outputs, no sensor dead zone, calibrated beam patterns, stable range readings, low power demands, and a host of other features.
This 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 the beam width explanation below.
Control up to 10 sensors with only two pins! Check out the Maxbotix FAQ in the resources tab.
