Hi,
I am now the proud owner of an ADXRS300EB and I want to hook this beauty up to the lego mindstorms sensor port. I already own the following interface connector:
http://www.techno-stuff.com/3wire.htm
so I think it should be pretty easy. I was thinking about connecting it following way:
AGND to Ground
AVCC to +5V
Rate Out to Signal
would this cause any problems? The interface produces about 6mA which should? be enough to drive the sensor. Am I correct? I dont want to damage the sensor since it is a bit expensive...
Any help is much appreciated. I really need to get this going, but I am not too electronic savy :(
Cheers,
Ram
