ROB-09454 digital sensor (QRE1113)

I’m trying to use one of these hooked up to a controller board that has 10k pullup resistors on the digital inputs.

So far that doesn’t seem to work. Are these only expected to work for high impedance inputs? I can’t yet parse how this board is intended to work exactly. The analog flavor works and makes sense in my setup.

Maybe it would work as intended if I removed the cap to the receiver transistor collector?

Thanks!

Perhaps try disabling the pullups?

Are you getting a signal at all? (test with voltmeter?)
