The WAS’s connections are 5v signal and gnd. You need to connect the 5v to the WAS power pin on the ampseal, the signal to WAS_LOW and gnd to WAS gnd.
Thanks for the info. Ill have to find the pin out for the sensor as Ive switched wire placements a few times with no change in angle numbers. I guess this system will be a battle to the end…
Can you confirm the pinouts for the was. Ive read to use pin 1, 3 and 4. But was told the wiring diagram is wrong so to use pin 1, 2 and 4.
Whats the difference in the was ‘high’ and’low’ pins
i used 1 ,2 and 4 on mine
pin 1 ampseal 12v+
pin 2 ampseal signal
pin4 ampseal 12v_
It is definitely pins 1, 2 and 4 you need.
thanks.
2 posts and 2 different combinations
Tried setting the was again at 2.5v centre then pressed zero but still wont let me zero it.
Swapped it for a new sensor and plug still the same. Swapped the ads1115 (one i connected with header pins as the surface mounted one wasn’t instock at jlcpcb)
Try to reduce your counts per degree and try again. Try about 20 percent. The higher your counts are, the less room for error on the center voltage.
Let me know
Tried it on 20% still wouldn’t let me but it would on 9%.
When i move the was arm im not getting any readings
Not reading at 9 or at all? 9 will not give very sensitive feedback. At east now you know that you either need to be a little above or below 2.5v to get it to zero. I would suggest returning your original CPD and adjust the voltage until it will zero with the wheels straight.
Im not getting no was readings at all when i move the arm.
Cant get the little tractor symbol to go green now either in the bottom right hand corner.
Also the red light on the aio is on for the steer module, should this be green?
Yes, you have no communication with WAS. What board are you using. Amp should be connected to pin 1 5v, pin 2 signal, and pin 4 ground. If it doesn’t work you may have a bad sensor or wiring.
Using the standard aio pcb.
Thats exactly how ive got it wired.
When testing the signal wire at the ampseal im getting a range of voltages when i move the arm but nothing shows on the screen
Have reflashed the teensy 4.1 but still the same.
Did you have wheel angle before?
Im not actually sure but i dont think ive seen the values move on the steer setup page when i move the steering sensor arm.
Getting plenty of voltage from 0.2v to 5v when i move the arm but its not registering anywhere
You need a 1K resister when using the ads1115 board. I ran into the same issue and folks helped me. let me find the link to it.

What else can i check or test?
Ive swapped the ads1115 for a new one and still the same problem
Ah ideal. Where do i need to put that?
