Re: Optical Sensor Output Overload
Hi!
Hey squide, the reason you have an overload is that the input for the sensor is 12vdc. Therefore, if you have it hooked up incorrectly, the signal will also be 12vdc when the switch is closed. That's really bad. the controller is only supposed to be getting 5vdc signal or 0vdc signal, but never 12vdc. The robot controller is pretty tough, so I do not think you will have fried it, but you will not get a consistent reading until you fix this. I have a schematic that I will be posting soon. -Sparks333 Last edited by Sparks333 : 03-02-2004 at 21:14. |
