Intermittent digital signal when PWMs are used

[michael714]

People,
You are awesome. I goofed up big time here. We were fooled by phantom power from the cRio. The DSC had wires from the distribution panel, but the wires were attached to the 5V output. Oy!

After going back to the docs, it was obvious that the DSC was miswired. We now have 12volts going to the DSC and all 3 lights are lit. I'll let you know if this fixes our intermittent line sensor.

Thank you so much. Sorry for the sloppy mistake.

Yes. This did fix the intermittent signal. We probably won't repeat this mistake (too many more times). Thank you again, all.

That's why we are here.

Don't worry about it, it wasn't a mistake, you just learned one way not to wire a digital sidecar!

We like to help, otherwise they put us back in our cages.
