"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…"
"Hi Don. This is Cody from MaxBotix Inc. I noticed that you have said, "i already made it work." However, I would like to verify that you have no further issues as far as the sensor on your rover is concerned. I am more than happy to help with any…"
"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…"

"Hello, this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix Inc.
I wanted to provide some additional information regarding ultrasonic sensors on rovers and UAV's. The MB7052 is not recommended on this rovers, even though it may work. The MB7052 has advanced filtering…"

"Hello this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix Inc.
@Thomas
The MB7052 has the same voltage scaling as the MB1240. The only XL-MaxSonar sensors that have a different voltage scaling is the parts that have a range longer than 765cm, and those sensors scale…"

Hello, this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix.
Christian, the article also applies to fixed wing UAV's with the biggest change being the direction of the prop wash. Unlike a multi-copter with vertical prop-wash, a fixed wing UAV will have…"

"Hello, this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix Inc.I saw your forum post and would like to lend some input. Like stated the MB1240, MB1340, and MB1242 are the only sensors that we recommend for UAV applications. We do not recommend the MB1200 or the…"
"Hello, this is Tom Bonar from MaxBotix Inc.I saw your forum post and I would like to lend some assistance. The MB7383 can use the same code as the XL-MaxSonar-EZ0 in your APM2.5 coding. The reason for this is the Analog Voltage output has a…"
"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…"

@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…"

"@Ronang44,
I just ran across your post. I am glad that you have gotten the sensor working well on your quad. As you had found, clean power is very important to our sensor. Checking the power to ensure it is strong, stable and clean is our…"
