Maxbotix range ultrasonic range sensor problems??

[jalmos]

We are trying to use two Maxbotix range sensors with little luck. We have been through the "start-up" guide and we think we have them programed correctly in Labvie, and wired correctly, but our question is where to do they get power from?

We see that they are 5v and we are guessing that power comes from the CRio somewhere but we are not sure where their power comes from either to the sensor or from the CRio. If it is indeed the CRio where do we run the power lines from the PDB?

Also we have wired in PWM cables to these sensors, but would they get power from these cables? not sure...

Also is there anything on the drivers station we need to do or activate in order to make these work.

Thanks so much for being there to help out a rookie team like ourselves.

Thanks
