Banner Sensor Help
 

Hey, head programmer from team 1160 currently trying to find a way to use banner sensors. did a search looking for information regarding how to actually read the input from the banner sensor, or also called line tracker, its the yellow thingy. And yet i couldnt find a manual for it nor the variable names and input types of the device, any help would be appreciated thanks

Re: Banner Sensor Help
 

There are several different types of Banner optical sensors. I think the electrical connections are all similar: provide it with 12 volt power and ground, and it produces a signal which is either open or grounded. You can find specific data sheets at http://www.bannerengineering.com/lit...ct_literature/ (choose from the Photoelectric Product Line menu).

The Banner sensor output should be connected to a digital input on the Robot Controller. It is read just like any other such input (e.g., rc_dig_in10 if it's on digital input 10).
