MaxBotix MB1202 I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ0

Features of the MB1202, I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ0, include centimeter resolution, the widest and most sensitive beam pattern of any unit from the I2CXL‑MaxSonar‑EZ sensor line, short to long distance detection, range information from 25cm to 765cm, up to a 40Hz read rate, and an I2C interface.

This makes the MB1202 an excellent choice for use where high sensitivity, wide beam, or people detection is desired.

The MB1202 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 MB1202 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.
