The LV-EZ0 from MaxBotix is a compact ultrasonic rangefinder providing short to long-range detection. It can detect objects from 0 to 254 inches (6.45 m) and provides calibrated range information from 6 inches out to 254 inches with 1-inch resolution. Objects closer than 6 inches are reported as 6 inches.
The sensor offers three interface output formats, making it easy to integrate with Arduino and other microcontrollers.
Key Features
- Detection Range – 0 to 254 inches (0 to 6.45 m)
- Calibrated Range – 6 to 254 inches with 1-inch resolution
- PWM Output – Pulse width proportional to distance
- Analog Voltage Output – Vcc/512 volts per inch
- Serial Digital Output – 9600 baud
- Compact Package – Small form factor for easy integration
Ideal For
- Robotics and obstacle avoidance
- Distance measurement projects
- Arduino-based proximity sensing
- Applications where IR distance sensors are insufficient
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- baud
- Baud is the signalling rate of a serial connection, often used as the speed setting for UART communication. Matching the baud rate matters because both connected devices must use the same setting for readable data.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
