hook into motorcycle speed sensor

Post by msumrell »

I need to hook into the hall effect sensor on my motorcycle for an experiment. I am thinking I need to just hook signal to a pin and ground to ground. Sound right?

Can I hook to a PWM digital pin?

The details for the speed sensor:
Speed sensor output voltage
When sensor is on
DC 4.8 V or more
When sensor is off
DC 0.6 V or less

DC 4.8 V or more
Arduino is limited to 5VDC so make sure it's not "MORE". You could use an optoisolator to be safe.
