Has anyone gotten this to work. I am playing with it in the lab right now but I cannot get voltage changes. I may have something hooked up wrong. I am checking the voltage of the +5 Digital In but it just stays at 0. Any help would be great.

We got ours to work. Here is what we used. We used the EE-SX1061 like above but connected it in this manner to get the needed voltages.

Pin E: RC Sig
Pin C: +5 Volt RC
Pin K: Blk (Ground)
Pin A: Either connect C to A through a 100 Ohm resistor or through a 100 Ohm resistor from a +5V RC

I left out something on my last post. Below is a working connection.

Pin E: RC Sig and Connect through a Load Resistor to K (1k will work)
Pin C: +5 Volt RC
Pin K: Blk (Ground)
Pin A: Connect C to A through a 100 Ohm resistor

Also, the EduBot's input receive is too slow to register all turns of the sprocket. The spokes are too thin. To fix this problem, we added paper to increase the width of the spokes. It counts wheel rotations well.
