Post Re: Set Default Digital inputs to Low? How? bad Analog value?

The sensor belongs to OPTEK technologies, OPB742D and OPB606A are the two sensors Im using.

Here are the Sensor Data,

The voltage picked up from my Multimeter reads DC 0.4V maximum using a 1.5V double A battery source.

Also, in hopes of getting rid of the use of Inverters, I've tried instead of setting INPUT; at the end of the IO's, I set them to 0;

IO4 = IO5 = IO6 = IO7 = IO8 = IO9 = IO10 = INPUT; <---------Before
IO4 = IO5 = IO6 = IO7 = IO8 = IO9 = IO10 = 0; <---------After

And I'm still not sure if it works, although the voltage between SIG and BLK is gone, I havnt found a way to trigger it so it goes high.
