Hyperion phase sensor with eLogger v3?

TheBum · 03-09-2011, 09:59 AM

I'm using a Hyperion phase sensor with my VBar and was wondering if it would work with the eLogger by splitting it out with a Y-adapter.

I know the eLogger brushless RPM sensor will not work with the VBar due to voltage issues, but I didn't know how tolerant the eLogger would be of the Hyperion sensor. I'd rather not attach another sensor to the ESC motor wires.

Doubt it, suspect elogger measure raise or drop time of a signal where hyperion is length of square

Have you tried, Alan? I am interested myself. You were thinking of running the signal wire only? vBar only feeds 3V - not sure whether this is enough for eLogger to register. You sure the vBar cannot tolerate the 5V signal from ET's phase sensor? If so, wouldn't that just be a matter of putting a small resistor into the signal Y-wire? I googled and found on RR that Mr Mel was gonna look into this in his lab but there never appeared a follow-up.

switch the black and red wires.

i like the eagle tree, but what the the hell?

i grabed my multi meter, and yes the black colored pinout per the label on the v3/v4 is power.

so black is +

and red is -

also it would be nice to see a diagram of actual pin values, since red is ground

and not red,black white. which one is positive/power, ground , and signal

ect
