Customer #327565 on SEN-09072 - MagnetoPot: Liquid Level Contactless SensorCustomer #327565urn:uuid:85421ef0-712f-4d4c-dfe4-2fff906bade92012-05-28T02:53:04-06:00<p>Is there any clearer diagram or even better fritzing.org drawing available on how to connect the MagnetoPot correct to V+ (red), GND (black) and collector (yellow) (e.g. A0 on Arduino Board)?
E.g. there is a triangle and a B available direct on the sensor which might be used as reference points on where to connect?
See e.g.: http://ropeandpulley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/theMaids-Drawer-Sensors-2011-12-09_bb.pdf
Note: Not sure if this is correct?</p>

In the data sheet there is this:"Depends on the exterior magnet strength and distance to the MagnetoPot." But this does not really help me. What might the resolution be with a very strong magnet being held up to the sensor? Or maybe something like <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8643" rel="nofollow">this</a> held a few cms away? Could someone who has bought this unit post roughly what their setup is and what kind of resolution they have achieved?</p>

What I am looking to find out is whether I can use a magnet which might be anywhere in relation to the strip (front, side, back).</p>

The manufacturer makes a number of different lengths (up to 1 meter), but I don't see which length is being sold here.<br>
The datasheet and dimension drawings do not indicate a length either.</p>

<a href="http://www.spectrasymbol.com/magnetopots" rel="nofollow">http://www.spectrasymbol.com/magnetopots</a><br>
It shows how to use the MagnetoPot with linear servos or measuring fluid levels.<br>
I didn't quite get how to configure this (since the datasheet is sparse), but the video pretty much explains it all.</p>
