The Sensor Master can connect to 12x 5v powered digital or analog sensors with the 3-pin structure signal, power and ground (see: Using the Sensor Input channel)

We recommend you watch the Sensor Master Tutorial

To connect sensors to a Sensor Master, you will need:

• RJ45 Breakout
• Ethernet cable
• Flathead screwdriver
• Wire strippers (if required)

Powered Sensors

To connect any 5v sensor to the Sensor Master, screw the stripped wires into the RJ45 Breakout as above

• the wire order must go negative, positive, signal
• The three wires must always go into adjacent terminal screw holes & leave a gap of one screw hole between sensors if you are using two (see diagram)

To patch this channel to a digital input in COGS software see: Patching channels to the Motor Master

5v Outputs

If the sensor requires a 5v powered counterpart (e.g a laser or an IR beam), these can be connected to a sensor channel in the first two screw terminals, and missing off the signal line. You won't be able to use this channel as an input, it will just power the device constantly.
