Introduction
This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you
to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects.
Naturally, robotics applications are very popular but you'll also find
this product to be useful in security systems or as an infrared
replacement if so desired.sensor measures distance using sonar; an
ultrasonic (well above human hearing) pulse is transmitted from the
unit and distance-to-target is determined by measuring the time
required for the echo return.

The URM37 V3.2 Ultrasonic Sensor uses an industrial level AVR processor
as the main processing unit. It comes with a temperature sensor which
is unique in its class. The sensor has unique three output mode (PWM,
RS232 or TTL) which let it easy to adapt to most devices and
applications. The sensor provides one channel servo control output
which can be used for sweep function.
The URM V3.2 Rev2 has a jumper which allows user to select RS232 level output or TTL level output.
