ADAFRUIT INDUSTRIES Maxbotix Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Module for USB

The HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ1™ module is an in-air, ultrasonic non-contact ranging sensor that detects objects within an area. It is not affected by the colour or other visual characteristics of the detected object. Ultrasonic sensors measure the time of flight for ultrasound that has been transmitted to and reflected back from nearby objects. Based on the time of flight, the sensor then outputs a range reading.
