PmodMAXSONAR

PmodMAXSONAR
Ultrasonic Range Finder, Digilent, RoHS

The PmodMAXSONAR is a single-transducer ultrasonic range finder module capable of accurate distance measurements. This ultrasonic sensor is unique in that it can measure a distance of over 20 ft with a resolution of 1 inch. It comes in the standard Pmod form factor to quickly connect to Digilent system boards, and it can be easily integrated into other projects as well. It is great is for a wide range of applications such as robotics, home automation, occupancy sensors and kinetics.
