I used a 1k ohm. but.. We ran that right into a CUI line driver.. (I don't think you can get them anymore) then into a mesa differential encoder counter... http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?keywords=102-1787-ND
here is our mounting. You can see the index hole (the index sensor isn't mounted in this photo) http://electronicsam.com/images/matsuura/sensors.jpg sam On 9/12/2016 12:43 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > Greetings all; > > I see by the spec sheet that the allegro 667 gear sensor can sink up to > 25 mills. > > But with 3 such sensors on the end of a long cable back to the breakout > board, probably 7 foot by the time I get it routed, I am concerned with > the potential for crosstalk noise in spite of putting a bypass capacitor > on the encoder itself. > > This noise would be reduced by a lesser amount of current.
