The signal can be configured one of two ways. If the black wire on the sensor is connected to the digital input Signal pin (White PWM wire), the default value is 0 (open). If the white wire on the sensor is connected to the signal pin, the value read will be 1 (closed).

You probably need to adjust the gain on the sensor. There is a little variable resistor on the side of the sensor that can be adjusted with a screwdriver. Use the light on the sensor to figure out if the sensor is reading the wheel correctly. If the light is on it is seeing a white. If it is off it is seeing black. If the light doesn't change when you move the wheel, adjust the gain on the sensor.

Adjusting the sensors is a a guess-and-check process. This will most likely solve your problem, although you may have it wired incorrectly. Check the wiring as I described above.


sorry yeah the black i had was blue sorry, i had a B on my pencil diagram and didnt post about it till couple days later so i assumed it was black. mm and the light you were refering to, we have it close by default so when it hits white lines it should be 0? and the light you were refering to its the actual red light that emits from the banner sensor or is it on the side of the sensor
