Optical Sensor questions

[Josh Hambright]

What sized Break do we need to use for the optical sensors? They need +12 Volts of power right so i am assuming i need to put them on a 20 am breaker. Can i hook more the one to the same fuse?

Table 3.1 on page 8 of the robot says Optical Sensors will get power from a 20 amp self reseting breaker. I think you can hook a few to the same breaker, but I am not sure.

I asked the same question:


The current draw from an optical sensor is very small. You may connect multiple optical sensors to the same breaker.
