Pinout

Pinout for MaxBotix MB2530 IRXL-MaxSonar-CS3.

Pin Number	Function
Pin 1	Unused
Pin 2	Pulse Width Output: Outputs pulse width representation of the distance with a scale factor of 1uS per cm. Range: 50uS (50 cm) to 1650uS (1650 cm).
Pin 3	Analog Voltage Output: Provides a scaled voltage representation of the measured distance. Scale factor: (Vcc/1024) per 2 cm.
Pin 4	Ranging Start/Stop: Internally pulled high. Trigger a range reading by bringing high for 20uS or longer. Hold low to stop ranging.
Pin 5	Serial Output: Outputs range in centimeters via RS232 or TTL format. ASCII format: "RXXXX" (distance in cm). Maximum distance: 1650 cm. Serial settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Pin 6	V+ (Positive Power): Operates on 2.7V - 5.5V. Average current draw: 1.65mA at 5V. Add a 100uF capacitor to mitigate electrical noise if needed.
Pin 7	GND (Ground): Sensor ground pin, DC return, and circuit common ground.

Difference between MB2532 and MB2530

The MB2532 and MB2530 are both part of the IRXL-MaxSonar-CS series, designed for cargo monitoring and proximity detection, but they differ primarily in their output format and application focus:

Feature	MB2532	MB2530
Output Format	Analog Voltage Envelope	Pulse Width Output (1 µs/cm scale)
Primary Application	Applications requiring analog signal or envelope processing.	Applications needing precise timing-based distance measurements.
Interface Outputs	Analog Voltage Envelope, Analog Voltage, Serial (RS232/TTL)	Pulse Width, Analog Voltage, Serial (RS232/TTL)
Target Size Compensation	Includes target size compensation for varying object dimensions.	Optimized for large target detection while rejecting small features.
