Optical Interrupt Switch for {game}


Datasheet for Slotted Optical Switch https://www.ttelectronics.com/TTElectronics/media/ProductFiles/Datasheet/OPB610-611-620-621.pdf

4 wires going out of the board they are on:

  • Red - power, at least 2v to see anything happen, not sure of optimal range.
  • Black - GND
  • White - data out for 1 of the sensors
    • Although there is a difference in voltage state of this wire when the sensor is triggered, it is a very low difference.
    • When powered by 3.3V, it goes from 80mV to 240mV
  • Green - data out for the other sensor
    • This wire has a much bigger voltage difference when the sensor is triggered.
    • When powered by 3.3V, it goes from 1.92 to 3.32 !OpticalSwitchVoltageDifferences.jpeg
