This frees your microcontroller and or other controller (e.g. PC104, PC, Laptop) to use valuable interrupts and CPU cycles to perform other timing functions. The RangeWizard™takes care of all of the sensor timing, and can report the readings in microseconds, inches, or centimeters. </P><P align=left>The RangeWizard™has the ability to query up to 10 ultrasonic sensors, and 6 analog sensors. The ultrasonic/sonar modules can be the single control line type like the Parallax Ping, or the trigger/echo type like the Max Sonar EZ line. </P><P>Additionally, there are 6 analog lines which can be used for any 5V analog senors, like the Sharp line of infrared sensors. Since the MaxSonar<FONT lang=JA face=Calibri,Calibri>‐</FONT>EZ ultrasonic sensors feature an analog interface, you can connect 6 additional sensors to the analog port, giving you the ability to query up to 16 MaxSonar<FONT lang=JA face=Calibri,Calibri>‐</FONT>EZ sensors. </P><P>The User Guide can be found here:</P><P> <A href="http://www.roboticsconnection.com/multimedia/docs/RangeWizardUserGuide_v1.0.pdf">http://www.roboticsconnection.com/multimedia/docs/RangeWizardUserGuide_v1.0.pdf</A></P><P>Best Regards!</SPAN> <FONT size=1><BR></FONT>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 07:00:08 GMTjsummerour
