Re: Maxbotix Range Finder

We are using ours in analog mode and it's mounted about 30" above the ground. It was working really well until mid-day yesterday and now it's flatlined at about 3ft. We'll troubleshoot tonight. Other than that, only issue was slow response (due to 2 Hz filter) in analog mode. But for what we're doing, that was good enough.

Also found this little gem to help with mounting at Allied Elec: Item # 70196662, P/N BF-010175. It's a small black box with mounting tabs that holds the sensor perfectly.
