Re: Have problem on getting analog values from lane tracking sensor

blue wire to ground
White wire to a DIO input
The internal pullup on the DIO provides the voltage. The switch just shorts out the voltage (provided by the pullup) to provide the digital hi/lo signal.

The KOP optical sensors are part number 42EF-D1MNAK-a2. The paper data sheet and the plastic bag in which they come says they require 11 - 30 VDC. We have then running fine on 12V from the power distribution board. There's no reason to hook them to 24V. You should save the 24V for the cRIO and the pneumatic solenoids.
