Supported Ultrasonic range sensors
FireBird V robot mainly uses EZ0 to EZ4 sensors from MaxBotix. All these sensors are available
on NEX Robotics website. Other sensors from MaxBotix having compatible pin mapping can
also be used instead of these sensors. For more details on compatibility, refer to the respective
sensor's datasheet.
EZ0 to EZ4 sensors have progressively more directionality. Refer to below figure to get rough
idea of the sensor characteristics.
