Re: Wiring for the allegro gear sensor
The W with the 12 over it (the white pwm wire) is connected to the Circuit Breaker with a 20amp fuse. You don't *have* to connect the black wire to a negative terminal on the Circuit Breaker becuase you are already grounded through the digital output (but we connected it anyways). The red wire on the pwm cable that connects to the 12 volt is unused. We just taped it to the side of the other wires.
Also, make sure your sensor can *actually* see the gear. We put the gear box on backwards and it could not see anything (took us a while to figure out why it didnt work). You should be able to peep into the hole on the side of the gear box and see the sensor looking at a gear inside of it.
I hope this helps.
