The MB1414 USB-ProxSonar-EZ1 is an ultrasonic proximity and range sensor with a USB interface. It provides both proximity detection (target enter/exit a calibrated zone) and distance measurement with 1-inch resolution, making it ideal for people sensing and obstacle detection applications.

With a detection zone of approximately 5 feet and support for 8+ simultaneous sensors, the MB1414 is designed for multi-sensor installations. It reports serial data over USB, with automatic target acquire and release timing.
