I wish to know what type of cable does this use
Is it an IO or a PWM?
Iâm not sure I understand the question. I believe most people use âPWM cablesâ for it, but only the ground and signal wires. The +5 wire needs to be cut back and covered so it doesnât accidentally short to anything. The other end of the cable connects to a digital input on the control system.
Well I havenât seen the piece myselfâŚI just want to make a limit switch for a motor. When it hit that thing it will stop.
So I thought that piece would be great.
By the connections I was reffering in LV. What type of VI is that? IO o PWM? Because I believe it is a digital inputâŚ
Sounds like you want a different part. That switch is for measuring pneumatic pressure; I would suggest Kamen Tote>>Gates Pack>>Microswitch.
In response the other half of your question, I/O stands for Input/Output, in this case you want digital in, so thatâs the one you want. PWM is Pulse Width Modulation, which is for controlling motors.

Yes, thatâs a digital input.
In LV itâs under WPI Robotics Library -> I/O -> DigitalInput
Thanks guys
Well Iâll ask the guys to search for it since will be making modifications to our bot in Atlanta and that is a crucial part right now!
Yeah you are just looking for a micro Switch. I took an interesting Assembly from an old garage door that had two micro switches at adjustable heights which were toggled when the door was all the way up/down.
So if you want to do a two way toggle, its a nifty design if you donât want to start from scratch.
But yeah, a microswitch which you can rip a PWM apart for wires with pinning already in.
That pressure switch uses a Digital Input on the Breakout board as previously described.
Good Luck in ATL, hopefully We will all see what the microswitch is for!
