Yes, I’ve tried this – they’re too weak.HOWEVER – 8xC batteries & 8xD batteries work very nicely, and I prefer them to the lithium batteries that are seen in the product video (PRT-10470)

Might be one for techsupport@ – the datasheet doesn’t mention, other vendors don’t mention, and the composition is different enough that I wouldn’t want to make an assumption based on other Tin/Silver...

Very cool! Now if I can find a way to get them to bring it to Maui. Eric visited us a year or two ago. Maybe we can get him back again.

Any chance of getting an SMD version of this to complete the SMD parts required for an arduino clone. You carry everything else required to make an SMD arduino, just need these!

If there are no option to adjust the VLOGIC on your breakout board, then why do you write this on the list of features? I would much rather be able to use different voltage levels than read or change...

Hello, I´m having some weird problems with this sensor in hardware mode. If I test it in a protoboard, connecting pins 1,8,3, 4 to the ground, pins 2, 6, 7 to Vcc(3v) and pin5 to a voltimeter. It works...

I have been working with one of these for a while now and I have a few comments. The firmware it ships with and the firmware in the google code website for the V3 was not correct, it has an incorrect...

Never buy this. Voltage drops from 5V to 3.5V under less than 1A load. Bought two of these, going to throw away both.

Hey, relatively new to the platform. Can you tell me if it is 24 pulses for 360 rotation for each of the channels (so we get a total of 48 pulses every rotation), or is 12 per channel (so we get total...

PCB material is surprisingly expensive, so for small boards that are likely to be plugged into a breadboard, we try to keep the price down by not adding mounting holes. People will often secure them...

Somehow the PDF layouts have the correct pinning but the SparkFun Eagle library has the part backward. This would have been nice to know a few k$ in boards ago.

Ha ha! It’s not that at all, just that your question deserves a more thorough answer than you’ll get here in the product comments. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
