Proximity Sensors beyond 5V #40

Closed jsunday closed 3 years ago

jsunday commented 3 years ago

What is involved in getting a 6-36V or 10-30V inductive proximity sensor to work correctly?

I have a 12V power supply I can use to power the sensor, and then I would need a resistor or other electronics of some type to lower the voltage for the input of the esp32?

Thanks,

Most proximity switches pull the signal to ground. I think if you supply the 12V to the sensor and tie the ground on sensor and the ground at the switch together it should work.
