Line sensor wire gauge questions

Dinush,
It is my belief that what you are explaining is legal. The light sensors do need +12 volts and that is not provided by the RC. Running a wire for power from a 20 Amp breaker as a common to all the sensors seems to be within the electrical guidlines. Be sure to insulate the wiring, I suggest heatshrink. Soldering to a PWM cable works, use heatshrink on those connections as well and be sure of your wiring before you power up. You don't want 12 volts accidently entering the signal pins on the RC.
