Re: Line sensor spacing

I'm not sure about the spacing, but I know there's a knob to zoom in and out. I plan on using 1.5" spacing for now.

The brown wire is your plus, the blue wire is your minus. Those go into the power panel. A pull-up (6.4K if i'm remembering correctly) resistor bridges the power and signal ports on the digital side car and the white wire connects to the signal port as well. (See attached) The black wire can be covered up with a piece of electrical tape, so It doesn't blow the whole sensor if it touches something accidentally. Since I'm doing this all from memory, I'm not liable if you blow something.
