Lol, what an awesome response
. Although now I have a lot of research to do to understand half the responses, lol (still working on my electrical knowledge).
To clarify, I will be using a 24 Volt powersupply (I think it *can* supply 6amps, not that it matters) to an Omron Proximity sensor (I will try & pull up the spec for the sensor in the morning), and the NO sensor will switch closed when the object is sensed. I need the corresponding 24V signal to then be 'scaled' down to 5V so that my motor controller can understand the sensor is sensing the object
