Description

Features of the MB1040, LV-MaxSonar-EZ4, include one-inch resolution, the narrowest beam width of any sensor in the LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensor line, range information from 6 inches to 254 inches, a 20Hz read rate, and various output options: pulse-width, analog voltage, and RS232 serial.

The MB1040 is a great choice for applications where only larger objects need to be detected.

The MB1040 from the LV-MaxSonar-EZ line of sensors is a very small, less than one cubic inch, ultrasonic sensor component module. This sensor comes with mounting holes provided on the circuit board for easy installation in nearly all applications.

In addition, the MB1040 learns the ringdown pattern when commanded to start ranging. This helps the sensor to learn the environment and can help the sensor ignore obstacles that are present at power-up.

Software Downloads

Significantly improve the resistance to galvanic corrosion.

Added new features to better integrate with software interfaces, namely MaxBotix RangeTrack.

Wire Attachment Length for Distributors change to 3ft.

Updates to provide greater stability when ranging with the most likely filter.

Updated firmware for the Most Likely filter update.

Improve the range stability of the selecting right target in the most likely filter.

The color of any exposed epoxy will be black or gray, rather than only gray.

The paint dots are removed from the sensors and replaced with part number labels.

Regardless of calibration values, all sensors will have a maximum range output of 1068 cm.

Regardless of calibration values, all sensors will have a maximum range output of 1068 cm.

MaxBotix is changing its manufacturing process for the F-Option.  The method of creating an F-Option part was changed to improve the manufacturability and decrease lead times for F-Option parts.
