WEEK 7: 29TH FEBRUARY 2012

Title : Do some research and explore more about the MaxSonar             Sensor.

Objective : To study about the MaxSonar Sensor.

           

Content / Procedure : Search about MaxSonar Sensor function                                          and operation principle.

                  

Results / Analysis :

The MaxSonar sensor

1)  The MaxSonar sensor is a range finders offers very short- to long-range detection and ranging in an incredibly small package with ultra-low power consumption.

2) It detects objects from certain range depends on its specification and provides sonar range information beyond certain range with a resolution.

3) The sensor provides three output interfaces, all of which are active simultaneously:

a)   digital pulse width output

b)   analog voltage output

c)   asynchronous serial digital output

Conclusion: From the research, the MaxSonar sensor can be                            used to indicate the level of the food when it is                                nearly empty.
