My sensors are not reading what I expect / I'm getting odd readings.
First of all, ensure that the sensors are level, and facing the source of light/area that it should be measuring.
This sounds very simple, but this can be an easily overlooked when encountering problems!
Also, check that the correct wires are connected to the correct terminals.
Another reason that may account for this is inadequate power supply. If your output range is between 0 and
up to 3V, the power supply should be between 5 and 15V. If your output range is between 0 and 3 to 6V, the
amplifier will require a power supply of between 9 and 15V.
The readings I'm getting are noisy.
At all times, the cable must be securely fastened down.
Also, ensure that the screening is maintained throughout between the sensors and the amplifier. The sensor
cable has an overall cable screen connected to the grey wire.
