Description

The MB1413 HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ1 ultrasonic sensor utilizes a 42kHz acoustic pulse and advanced signal processing to deliver precise, noise-immune distance measurements. Its high-output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain and real-time signature analysis ensures reliable performance even in electrically noisy environments. The sensor is internally compensated for the speed of sound variations due to temperature.

Designed for protected indoor use, this module outputs range data continuously via its USB interface, which enumerates as a virtual serial (COM) port, eliminating the need for additional logic level converters or power supplies when connected to a PC. The compact PCB format with integrated mounting holes facilitates straightforward mechanical integration into robotic platforms, industrial equipment, or custom measurement systems.

Key Features

  • High-resolution ultrasonic ranging with 1mm resolution and target-size compensation for improved accuracy.
  • Integrated USB Micro-B connector provides both power and a simple serial data interface for direct PC connection.
  • Advanced signal processing includes real-time waveform analysis and noise rejection algorithms for stable, reliable readings.
  • Compact and lightweight PCB design (22.5mm x 20mm) with mounting holes for easy integration into projects.
  • Wide operating voltage range (3.0V to 5.5V DC) and robust temperature operating range from -40°C to +65°C.
  • Features virtually no sensor dead zone, with objects closer than 30 cm reported as a consistent 30 cm range.
  • Internal speed-of-sound temperature compensation ensures accuracy across the operating temperature range.
  • RoHS compliant construction designed for protected indoor environments and cost-sensitive precision applications.

Applications

  • Indoor robotics for obstacle detection and navigation within a 5-meter range.
  • Precision level monitoring and object positioning in automated assembly lines.
  • Computer-interfaced measurement systems for educational labs or prototyping environments.
  • Security and presence detection systems for protected indoor areas.
  • Integration into interactive displays or kiosks for user proximity sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output interface of the MB1413 sensor and how do I communicate with it?

The MB1413 features a USB Micro-B interface. When connected to a computer, it enumerates as a virtual COM port. You can read the continuous ASCII range data (in millimeters) using any terminal program or serial library in your software development environment, such as Python's PySerial or Arduino's Serial Monitor.

What is the minimum and maximum detectable distance for this sensor?

The sensor provides reliable ranging from 30 centimeters (300 mm) up to 5 meters (5000 mm). Objects closer than 30 cm are consistently reported as 30 cm, providing a predictable near-field response. The 1mm resolution is maintained across the entire 30 cm to 5 meter operational range.

Can this sensor be used outdoors or in harsh environments?

No, the MB1413 is specifically designed for protected indoor environments. It is not rated for waterproofing (IP rating) and its performance can be adversely affected by moisture, wind, and extreme temperature fluctuations outside its specified -40°C to +65°C operating range. For outdoor use, consider MaxBotix's weather-resistant sensor lines.

Does the sensor require any external components or calibration?

No external components are required for basic operation when using the USB interface, as it provides both power and data communication. The sensor features real-time background automatic calibration and internal temperature compensation, so no user calibration is needed. For mounting, the PCB includes standard mounting holes.

What is the power supply requirement for the MB1413 sensor?

The sensor operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V DC supply, which is provided directly through the USB connection (standard 5V USB power). If not using USB, you must supply regulated power within this voltage range to the appropriate pins, ensuring common ground with your controller.
