Description

The MB1403 HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ0 utilizes a 42kHz ultrasonic transducer paired with sophisticated signal processing to deliver precise, low-noise distance measurements. Its continuously variable gain and real-time waveform analysis ensure reliable performance even in the presence of electrical or acoustic interference.

Designed for ease of integration, the sensor outputs serial data directly via USB, eliminating the need for additional logic level converters or serial adapters. This makes it an ideal solution for rapid prototyping, educational projects, and industrial systems requiring accurate non-contact distance sensing.

Key Features

  • Millimeter-resolution ultrasonic distance sensing from 0.3 to 5 meters.
  • Direct USB serial output for simplified connection to PCs, Raspberry Pi, and microcontrollers with USB host capability.
  • Factory-calibrated beam pattern offering a balance of sensitivity and side-object rejection.
  • Advanced on-board algorithms for noise rejection, automatic calibration, and clutter filtering.
  • Low current consumption design suitable for portable and battery-powered applications.
  • Compact, board-mountable form factor with integrated mounting holes.
  • Capable of multi-sensor operation for creating arrays or networks of distance sensors.

Applications

  • Robotics navigation and obstacle avoidance systems.
  • Industrial tank and bin level monitoring and control.
  • Precision measurement in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and drones.
  • Parking assistance and vehicle detection systems.
  • Process control and object presence detection on conveyor lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output format of the MB1403 sensor?

The MB1403 outputs serial distance data directly via its integrated USB interface. When connected to a host, it appears as a virtual COM port, streaming ASCII characters representing the range in millimeters. No additional signal conditioning or level shifting is required.

Can multiple MB1403 sensors be used together?

Yes, the sensor supports multi-sensor operation. Its design allows multiple units to be connected and read by a single host system. The ~250ms cycle time between readings helps prevent acoustic crosstalk when sensors are used in close proximity.

What is the minimum and maximum measurable distance?

The sensor provides reliable range information from a minimum distance of 300mm (0.3 meters) up to a maximum of 5000mm (5 meters). Objects closer than 300mm may not be detected reliably due to the sensor's blanking time.

How does the sensor handle noisy environments?

It incorporates advanced on-board processing, including real-time automatic calibration, waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms. This combination provides stable readings and excellent rejection of both acoustic clutter and electrical noise.
