Features
USR40X -- Digital Ultrasonic Ranger

USR40X - Digital Ultrasonic Ranger - is high performance multidetecting* digital sensor, which can be used with OOPic, Basic Stamp, BS2p as well as wide variety of mirocontrollers that have I2C bus for data communication. For I2C users - this sensor appears the same way as 24xx series EEPROM with a different I2C address. This address can also be changed.
If your microcontroller does not have I2C interface, this sensor can also be used in analog mode.
