Connecting Maxbotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 to roborio
 

Hi all,
I've been looking into different types of rangefinders and came across the Maxbotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ1.
The page about this sensor in WPIlib docs doesn't explain how to connect it to the RoboRIO (I figured through the analog input pins).
Can someone please explain how the sensor is connected to the RoboRIO?
Thanks!

Here are two options to hook the sensor up to the roboRIO:

Analog -

• GND
• +5
• AN (to signal pin)

Digital (DIO) -

• GND
• +5
• PW (to signal pin)

Thanks!
btw, it's an analog input object in java, right?

It's an analog input when you connect it to the Analog pins.
