Re: IR sensor???plz help

We used the Direct Mount Terminal Strips that Alan was talking about. We used PWM wires for our IR board. They can be attached to the direct mount and then plugged into the Digital I/O on the RC.

The white wires are for the four signals that come out of the board. Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8. The red wires on the PWMs are positive (5V) and the black are negative. The red and black can all be wired into the corresponding parts of the direct mount terminal strips.

We also wired the power for our board through the 20 amp breaker panel. We will be putting it on a spike later for quick learning.

Good luck,
Jacob
