Description

The MB1423 HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ2 ultrasonic sensor utilizes a 42kHz transducer to provide precise, non-contact distance measurements. It employs high-output acoustic power, continuously variable gain, and real-time waveform signature analysis to deliver virtually noise-free readings, even in acoustically challenging environments. The sensor’s design offers an excellent compromise between sensitivity and side object rejection.

This compact module, measuring less than one Cubic Sensor inch, is engineered for straightforward integration into a wide array of projects and products. Its USB interface outputs serial data, simplifying communication with systems like Raspberry Pi, industrial PCs, or data acquisition units without requiring additional signal conditioning circuitry.

Key Features

  • Millimeter resolution (1mm) for high-precision distance measurement.
  • Extended detection range from 300mm to 5000mm (5 meters).
  • USB serial TTL output for simplified direct connection and communication.
  • Advanced signal processing with real-time automatic calibration and noise rejection.
  • Minimal dead zone; objects closer than 30cm are reported as 30cm.
  • Compact, lightweight PCB module with integrated mounting holes.
  • Designed for multi-sensor operation without interference.
  • Robust performance in the presence of various acoustic and electrical noise sources.

Applications

  • Robotics navigation and obstacle avoidance systems.
  • Industrial tank level monitoring and bin filling applications.
  • Precision measurement in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and drones.
  • Security and presence detection systems.
  • Process control and object positioning in automation equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output format of the MB1423 sensor?

The MB1423 provides distance data via a USB serial interface. It outputs ASCII characters representing the range in millimeters, followed by a carriage return (\r). This format allows for easy parsing by serial terminal software, microcontrollers, or PC-based data acquisition systems.

Can multiple MB1423 sensors operate simultaneously?

Yes, the MB1423 is designed for multi-sensor operation. Its advanced acoustic waveform signature analysis and noise rejection algorithms help minimize interference between sensors. For optimal performance, it is recommended to stagger measurement cycles or physically separate sensors to reduce the chance of crosstalk.

What is the sensor's dead zone, and how are close objects handled?

The MB1423 has a minimal dead zone. Objects detected closer than 30 cm (300 mm) are reported as a fixed distance of 30 cm. This design ensures stable readings at the near end of its range, preventing erratic data from objects in the immediate acoustic field of the transducer.

What power supply does the MB1423 require?

The MB1423 is powered directly through its USB connection. It draws its operating voltage (typically 5V DC) from the USB host port, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Ensure your host device (PC, Raspberry Pi, etc.) can provide adequate USB bus power.
