USB Ultrasonic Distance Sensors

USB Ultrasonic Distance Sensors - MaxBotix
MaxBotix's USB ultrasonic distance sensors are low-cost ultrasonic proximity sensors featuring an easy-to-use USB interface that connects directly to a computer with a standard Micro-B USB cable. The interface was designed to be very easy and intuitive to use. These USB ultrasonic distance sensors provide a component module solution that offers easy integration with USB connectivity, ready-to-use, low power demands, no sensor dead zone, calibrated beam patterns, stable range readings, and a host of other features. These USB ultrasonic proximity sensors offer a controlled beam that is designed to reject small objects (clutter) outside of the central beam area detecting frivolous or unwanted objects. MaxBotix USB ultrasonic sensors such as the HRUSB‑MaxSonar‑EZ and the USB‑ProxSonar‑EZ are also tested for proper operation at our facility and comes with a factory calibrated beam pattern to help ensure consistent operation of the sensor even from part to part.
