The MB1403 is a USB ultrasonic sensor popularly used for people detection, robots, occupancy sensing and more.
Specs:
Features of the MB1403, HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ0, include millimeter resolution, the widest and most sensitive beam pattern of any unit from the HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ sensor line, short to long-distance detection, range information from 300mm-5000mm, a ~4Hz read rate, and a USB serial output.
This makes the MB1403 an excellent choice for use where high sensitivity, wide beam, or people detection is desired.
The MB1403 from the HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ line of sensors is a very small, less than one cubic inch, ultrasonic sensor component module.
This sensor comes with mounting holes provided on the circuit board for easy installation.
In addition, the MB1403 offers virtually noise-free distance readings through the use of high-output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real-time background automatic calibration, real-time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms.
This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources.
