Wiring
– Diagram on side of sensor



Blue to ground on PD
Brown to 12v on PD
White (true when no reflection) OR Black (true when reflected) to digital input signal pin on
Digital Sidecar
– Connect ground to ground, power to +12 volts, and either LO or DO to a
digital input pin on the Digital Sidecar. The input pin will read a logic 1
when the signal is inactive, and a logic 0 when it is active.


DO is the "Dark Output". It is active (i.e. connected to ground) when the sensor is looking
at "dark", and inactive (i.e. allowed to float) when the sensor sees "light".
LO is the "Light Output". It is active when the sensor is looking at "light", and inactive when
the sensor sees "dark".
Linear Encoder
