Connecting a laser distance sensor to Duet3 6HC
-
Hello,
I wanted to know if it is possible to connect a laser distance sensor (https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/sensors_-z-_encoders/photoelectric_sensors/distance_measuring_sensors/opt2002) left behind from a previous project.
The sensor has allowable input voltage of 18-30 VDC and provides analog output: either 0-10V or 4-20 mAI am planning to use this to take periodic measurements of a rotating cylindrical shaft (this will be 4th rotary axis) before and after printing on this.

@RockB you could connect the 0-10V output to a potential divider to scale it back to 0-3.3V, feed it into an analog input on the Duet, and then configure a Linear Analog Sensor in RRF to take the measurement.
