USB-ProxSonar-EZ MB1414 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

The USB-ProxSonar-EZ MB1414 is a USB-connected ultrasonic distance sensor designed for proximity sensing and human presence detection. Operating at 42kHz, it interfaces directly with computer systems to deliver quick, reliable acoustic measurements. It is ideal for makers, educators, and developers building interactive displays or computer-connected monitoring systems.

Direct USB computer connection

The sensor features a direct USB interface designed for computer-connected sensing systems. This allows easy integration with PCs and embedded computing platforms without requiring separate microcontroller boards.

Human presence and range detection

It detects objects and people up to a maximum range of 125 inches. This makes it particularly effective for automated human presence detection and proximity-triggered applications.

42kHz ultrasonic ranging

The module uses a 42kHz acoustic operating frequency to measure distance reliably. This active sonar frequency enables non-contact detection across varied lighting environments.

Precise one-inch resolution

Distance readings are provided with 1-inch measurement resolution. This provides consistent, granular data for identifying object movement and spatial proximity.
