Hello guys …
we wired the sensor to frc controller ( pwm output ) as a power supply …
which supplies 7.2v… i worked for few days … then it stoped functioning … i think we fried it …
my question is : do the pwm outputs supply a larger value of current which the sensor con not accept ?
or there is another error occured ???
Mohamed,
The IR sensor is intended to be connected to the +12 volt power through a 20 amp circuit breaker. The power from a PWM output is right at the minimum operating voltage for the sensor board. (7-12 volts as stated in the documentation.)
