MaxSonar EZ1 Ultra Sonic ranger

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Maxsonar EZ1 US ranger, from Maxbotix, is a ultra sonic ranger. There
are several other types of MaxSonar rangers, the only differences being the
beam widths. We can thus expect the lib to work on all MaxSonar rangers.

See MaxBotix site: http://www.maxbotix.com/

Ranger results can be accessed through serial, reading analog voltage, or
reading pulse width. I'd see 4 files (nothing being definitive, just some
thoughts) 

 * a common lib, dealing with ranger's common task
 * 3 other libs to access it either via serial, analog or pulse

User may include the common lib, then the access lib he wants. He could
even be able to select more than one access lib.

AFAIK there's only one ranger lib for now, for IR ranger GP2D02. I too have 
this 
ranger but never found time to test it. The goal is to create a library, and 
potentially refactor some code in GP2D02 lib as needed.

Since this ranger can be accessed using different ways (adc, serial, pwm) user 
should 
be able to choose the way he wants to use.

The rest is up to you :)

I'll be happy to test and help.
