Product Description

 

The XL‑MaxSonar‑EZL1 offers a lower hardware gain and a smaller, narrower detection zone than the MB1260. This makes the XL‑MaxSonar‑EZL1 a great choice for people detection applications. In addition to detecting small objects, the XL‑MaxSonar‑EZL1 can also detect large targets to the extended range of 1068 cm (420 inches).

The sensor is small in size, yet the high output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real-time background automatic calibration, real-time waveform signature analysis, and real-time noise rejection algorithms results in virtually noise free distance readings for most users. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The XL‑MaxSonar‑EZ sensor line is factory calibrated to match the sensor beam patterns and provides a long range detection zone.

The MB1210 is a version of this sensor with shorter maximum range.

Using a MaxSonar on a UAV
MaxBotix Inc., sensors have been successfully used on a number of multi‑copters.
Multi‑copters are also called UAVs, rotorcraft, quadrotor helicopters, or quadcopters. Many quadcopters are seen on DIYDrones, such as the Arducopter.
