    Pluging in Temperature sensor

    Whitch is the proper way to plug the sensor in, the red wire towards the fusion brain or away from the brain? also do the pins start at 1 or 0? I ask because either way i try to connect it it shows me in road runner that its not connected??

    thanks!

    Red wire goes to "+", black wire on the outside goes to "AIN".

    And for testing use the virtual brain in MDX, and you can see exactly what is going on before starting up the COM.

    And when choosing a port, 0 is port 1. It is all labeled on the board.

    Ok, forgive me if I dont sound very smart at the moment but i am rediculously confused. I have the fusion brain verson 3. Here is a picture ( I know you know what it looks like this is just to help me out)



    does the red wire go to number 1 or number 2?

    also, how do i get into the virtual brain?

    and lastly how do i tell what pins are what port? Do they go in order starting from top to bottom starting with "0"??

    thanks again

    Ok well that info for for the v4 as we havent even produced a version 3 in many many months.

    Here is the V2/V3 manual: http://fusioncontrolcentre.com/Fusio...r%20Manual.pdf

    The input is on the outside.

    I dont remember which is 0, but if you open the virtual brain and plug in the sensor it will show you which. To setup a virtual brain, open the configurator, click debug, make sure it is enabled, then select the virtual brain for the brain id listed.
