Hello all,
First post on here. Started a project at work and am undertaking the work to learn along the way.
So what I have is a
http://www.texense.com/en/produits/...-ir-rotor-temp-formula-student-sensor_36.html
sensor I am adding to our company's brake dyno. I am not an electrical engineer/electrician by trade, so please bear with me.
I have wired the sensor as shown in the crude diagram attached. The sensor terminates in an analogue input that requires a bnc connector. I am using a binding post type bnc for the final leads.
I have checked at the sensor and it is receiving 5vdc from my source, the signal wire is also putting out a constant voltage of about 0.156-0.160v and doesn't change at all as it should when I heat up what it is sensing (the brake rotor). I can not find anything wrong with this and have tried multiple variations of grounds and such.
I also ran my 5vdc source straight to the binding post leads to ensure the channel is receiving correctly and the bnc is working as it should.
Any input?
