Ultrasonic Range Finder I2CXLEZ2-MB1222

Introduction

The I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ sensor allows for easy I2C integration and multisensor operation using a single bus. The sensor have high acoustic power output along with real-time auto calibration for changing conditions (voltage and acoustic or electrical noise) that ensure users receive the most reliable (in air) ranging data for every reading taken.

The I2CXLEZ2-MB1222 offers the best balance between wide or narrow beams and provides a good balance between small and large target detection. EZ2 sensor works for nearly all indoor applications including: people detection, large-target detection, long-range detection, applications requiring high noise tolerance.

This sensor provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in a tiny and compact form factor. It detect objects from 0-cm to 765-cm (25.1 feet) and provide sonar range information from 20-cm out to 765-cm with 1-cm resolution. Objects from 0-cm to 20-cm typically range as 20-cm.

Note: Object from 0-mm to 1-mm may not be detected.

Multiple Sensor Reference Wiring Diagram
Adding additional sensors to the I2C bus is extremely simple, as long as each sensor is programmed first to a different address, and the bus capacitance is low enough for the pull-up resistors to work properly. GND, V+, SCL and SDA simply need to be connected to the existing wires that the bus operates on. Each sensor can then be addressed individually to perform a range finding cycle or return the range data.
Note: For more detail refer datasheet.
