At this point, if you still need help with wiring the optical sensors, I'm inclined to think that you are utterly hopeless, and should ditch whatever subsystem into which you planned on incorperating an optical sensor.

The pinout is written on the side of the sensor, and has been mentioned in a huge amount of threads and posts on these forums. If you can't find this information on your own, at this point, I'm also inclined to think that you should just stick to programming, and not deal with anything hardware related....

I feel bad about burning you this bad, right now, so I'll recite the pinout from memory...

Brown: +12VDC
Blue: Ground
Black: Digital Output
White: Digital Output

Black and White are mutually exclusive outputs. If one is high (on, 1), then the other is low (off, 0).

/me grumbles.
