Description
Features of the MB1212, I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ1, include centimeter resolution, a great blend of sensitivity as well as side object rejection, short to long distance detection, range information from 25cm to 765cm, up to a 40Hz read rate, and an I2C interface.
This makes the MB1212 a good low-cost starting place for a customer not sure of which I2CXL‑MaxSonar‑EZ sensor to use.
The MB1212 from the I2CXL‑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 MB1212 offers virtually noise-free distance readings through the use of high-output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real‑time background automatic calibration, real‑time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources.
