right now I'm builing a UAV using thermopile sensors for stability. Now I have an xy sensor and a z sensor both from FMA.
XY sensor:
z sensor:
Now I'm quite certain that the z sensor I'm using is a different type, but I feel I could adjust the gain to get the right values, the issue is that the z sensor output doesn't change. No matter which way I turn it outside it reads about 250 to 350 on an 8 bit ADC (vals from 0 to 1024 with 1024 being 5V). The xy sensors seem to work fine, but I'm not sure what's up with the z sensor. I've got the red wire to 5V the black wire to gnd and the white wire directly to the ADC line.
I'm not sure if I wired this incorrectly, or this is a different sensor than I'm thinking, but any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Strix
