Re: Wiring the photosensors (Rockwell)

If they're typical of the kind of photosensors often used in FRC, the wiring is simple. Power and common to the sensor comes from a 20 Amp breaker on the Power Distribution Board; the same branch can supply many sensors or other custom circuits. Signal from the sensor goes to the Signal pin of any Digital Input on the Digital Sidecar. That's it.
