Oops.. software error. Didn't set the GPIO for Input. This is working as it should now.. thanks everyone for all the help. Especiallly Dave!

Simply connect the supply to the device as per the specifications, 12-24V as shown in the drawing on page 6 of the data sheet. Connect GND to the GND of your Netburner and the output to your GPIO pin. Connector a resistor from the GPIO pin to +3.3V and it will work. Something like 4K7 or 10K will b...

Connector a resistor from the GPIO pin to +3.3V and it will work. Any thoughts on what I could use as the 3.3V power source here? I'm supplying 5v to the SB72 board, would there be some point on the board that I could assume has a regulated 3.3V power source? Or would it be better to set up a separ...

Hi Dave, thanks for your comments- is there a pin or something on the SB72 that I can use for the +3.3V?

Cheers, Chris

Oh also, to answer Chris R's question, I just need on/off sensing.

Thanks all for your input so far! I now have a photo eye sitting on my desk, it is an Omron e3z-t61, which I believe will switch to ground: http://www.omron247.com/doc/pdfcatal.nsf/27EA3F3E915E668386256F6300610AC1/$FILE/D04E3Z1204.pdf To set the IO signal, could I draw 5v from the same power supply ...

I'm very new to all of this, and I was wondering if I could get some information about the best way to connect a photo eye to an SB72 board. I see that there are 4 available GPIO pins - what would be involved in using these? Is there a better way? Any help or guidance would be massively appreciated!
