Re: Gear Tooth Sensor Wire Gauge

The Sensor manual on the FiRST website details the wiring. It states...
Two PWM cables are needed to interconnect the module. One cable is used to supply a
12Vdc operating voltage from the sensor distribution circuit breaker. The second PWM
cable connects to an available digital input port on the robot controller to deliver sensed
pulse counts from the “S” port and to receive +5V from the RC unit. “G” is always the
ground connection. The current draw for these sensors is relatively low at 16mA.

As always, the manuals are your friends.
