dumb question: Where do we get the gear tooth sensors from?

[waialua359]

We searched the IFI website and kit of parts checklist. We dont know where to order it from? Also, is there a limit to how much we can have?

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for where to purchase more, or where to find the ones in the kit?

I don't believe there are any rule to prevent you from using more GTSs on your robot, but the RC can only has 6 interrupt ports and you need one per GTS.

I wanted to know where to order from? and the FP motors w/ white gearbox also.

I found out its allegro and sanken. How come its soo hard to find? Someone from another team told us.

Have Glenn email me (teacher at Waiakea High) if you need some FP motors...we can share ours. I don't believe we're using them. Just need to get them from the Big Island over to you folks.

I'm confused. Did you not receive the pair of gear tooth sensors in your kit of parts? The Allegro sensor on the GTS board is well labeled.

that's true. But sometimes the maker isnt the same as the recommended vendor. For example, I would never have known that Motion Industries carry SMC pneumatic parts that give awesome deals to Hawaii. Just wanted to make sure. We needed to have 4 total.
