MaxBotix EZ-1 Sonar Sensor
Product Description
The Sonar Sensor is a compact high performance ultrasonic rangefinder made by MaxBotix that can detect objects at a distance of 6 to 254 inches (6.45 m) with a 1 inch (25.4 mm)resolution. The sensor automatically calibrates itself when powered up.
The sensor cable that ships with the 1128 must be soldered to the sensor board; the EZ-1 sensor can then be connected to an analog port on a PhidgetInterface board and controlled through our powerful API.
Comes packaged with
- 3002 – 60cm Sensor Cable that must be soldered to the sensor board.
