MB1000, High Performance Sonar Range Finder

Pin 1-BW- *Leave open or hold low for serial output on the TX output.

When BW pin is held high the TX output sends a pulse (instead of serial data), suitable for low noise chaining.

Pin 2-PW- This pin outputs a pulse width representation of range.

The distance can be calculated using the scale fa
