A Word of Welcome
This guide is provided to the teams of the FIRST® 2012 robotics competition to serve as an easy to use set-up guide for the LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ1 Ultrasonic Sensor. This sensor uses sound to measure the distance to nearby objects, and then reports the information through one of the three sensor outputs.
MaxBotix Inc., is excited to provide this guide which is designed to assist you in using your MaxSonar sensor for the first time!
MaxBotix Inc., wishes you a warm, peaceful Christmas Season!

Company Improvement
This has certainly proven true this year with the launch of a new company website, a dramatic increase in our production capacity (and demand), implementation of a company wide GTD system, continued product development, and support of many clients with a variety of standard and custom sensors.
In a time of general industry economic downsizing, MaxBotix Inc., would like to express thanks to God, our employees, our customers, and our suppliers that have all contributed to another year of super growth at MaxBotix Inc.
This year we increased our production capacity by 10X, and we have used it. (20X capacity to be implemented in Dec. 2011). Thank-you Jesus!

It's a little known fact that all of our MaxSonar products have been designed with a high acoustic noise tolerance. This means that the MaxSonar sensors from all of our product lines work to reduce or eliminate false detections caused by external noise sources. While acoustic noise tolerance is only a small part of our "sensor magic", that provides our users with reliable and stable range information, it is a critical factor for some of our users.
Recently, some of our users in the UAV community have been asking questions about the difference in noise tolerance between our LV-MaxSonar-EZ products and our XL-MaxSonar-EZ/AE products. As a result, MaxBotix Inc., felt that it would be a good idea to provide our users with test data for each of our current sensors ability to reject acoustic noise sources.
