"Hello, this is Cody with MaxBotix Inc. I do not know if you have reviewed it already, but the Ardupilot website already has this tutorial on setting up one of our I2C sensors with the Pixhawk. You can view the article at the following…"
"Hello, this is Cody from MaxBotix Inc. I’m glad to support you.Traditionally, we do not recommend the MB1040 for use on UAVs. I have reviewed a number of your graphs, and it appears like you issues are more primarily caused by lack of detection…"
"Hello, this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix Inc.
When operating MaxSonar sensors on UAV's we recommend the XL-MaxSonar-EZ sensors over the LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors. The XL sensors have better noise immunity then the LV sensors and the XL sensors also…"

"MaxBotix Inc., would like to also include Randy McKay and Chris Anderson for all their work incorporating our sensors with the DIY Drones community.. If we have forgotten anyone, for the work or information regarding the implementation of our…"
"MaxBotix Inc., would like to extend a special thank you to R_Lefebvre and Keyur who were instrumental in the testing of our senses during our project. R_Lefebvre provided valuable test data from his location and Keyur provided his quad for testing…"

"Hello, this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix Inc.
I have seen that you are having problems with mounting one our sensors on your multi-copter. We have recently done testing of our sensors on quad-copters for mounting and which sensors are the best for…"

"Hello this is Scott from MaxBotix Inc.
@Steven Tisseyre
You stated that you have an EZL0 that is measuring a constant 20cm. The MB1260 (XL-MaxSonar-EZL0) will measure the distance to the first detectable target. In the case you have described…"

"@Kur,
We saw your posting and wanted to offer some assistance also. As some have recommend, placing the power filler on the sensor will help your performance. This will help remove any issues from dirty power and ensure the sensor has a clean power…"

"This is Scott from MaxBotix. Sorry I missed your post earlier Mike, but here is the information you requested on the scaling of our HRLV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors.
The pulse width scaling on the HRLV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors is very simplistic for our end…"

"Lefebvre, you may also need to consider vibration noise being introduced to the sensor as well before switching sensors. If it is possible, mount the sensor on a softer mount so the vibration is absorbed before it contacts the sensor."
"If there is a large amount of noise, it will cause the sensor to not get the proper range readings to the intended target. This will cause the sensor to return maximum range readings. You state that you are using the MB1200 and MB1260 on an…"
"Hello! This is Scott from MaxBotix Inc. We are glad to hear that you are excited about this new product release. We wanted to clarify a few points that will help the DIY Drones community evaluate and use our products.

"Hi everyone, we saw a comment in this thread where a few of you had asked about the maximum range of the LV and XL ultrasonic sensors we offer. I figured I would quickly post some of the relevant information to answer these questions.
The maximum…"
