To make the connection between sensor and plug, form leads by separating the wires a small amount on
each end of the cable, then strip off enough insulation to be able to solder the leads to your sensor on
one end and to the plug on the other. Be careful that you match up each connection from the sensor
to its corresponding pin on the plug. Use a colored marker to identify the same outer wire on each end
of the cable as an easy way to avoid a cross connection.
Once your cable is attached to your plug and your sensor, you need to insulate the leads to prevent any
cross contact. KIPR sensors use hot melt glue for this purpose, which also stabilizes the connection and
provides strain relief (to flatten the glue before it hardens, sandwich between two refrigerated pieces of
smooth metal, then trim off excess glue using a razor knife or sharp scissors).
Before plugging your new sensor into your KIPR Link, use a multi meter to check for shorts and for
continuity between each sensor lead and its corresponding plug lead.
Navigate to the sensors screen on the KIPR Link (
Motors and Sensors
..
Sensor List
), and plug in your
sensor. For the port plugged into, as the sensor operates, the value should flip between 0 and 1 for a
digital sensor and vary between 0 and 1023 for an analog sensor.
