Hello I recently purchased a EF10002 Speed module from robot shop, but am having trouble using it. The page for it on robot shop is giving a 404 error and I was unable to find a datasheet for it, does anyone have any information on how to use it? I have given it power and monitor its OUTPUT but it never reads anything. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
The Speed Module with indicator is discontinued from our supplier. Therefore, its product page is not available anymore.
You can refer to the Cytron Simple Rotary Encoder Kit User Manual which is a similar product.
The Speed Module has an LED as indicator that should light ON when the break beam sensor is blocked and OFF when it’s unblocked. Is the LED on your Speed Module lights ON and OFF ?
Also you might want to check if the module is appropriately powered (5V on VCC and GND).
This tutorial might also help you.
Regards,
Thank you Brahim!! It turns out there was a piece of tape or similar blocking the sensor that I did not see at first, it is now working great. Thanks for the links they were helpful!
