Re: Optical Sensors
Also:
They are digital. That really didn't make much sense to me, but they are. Hook them into digital i/o on the robot controller, and don't worry about more than 5v going to sig. The digital i/o looks for either a pos voltage or gnd, with no real specification on the pos voltage.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
