Re: FTC 2012 RobotC IR Sensor Programming and implementation

Phil,

We're using LabVIEW, and for us, the IR Seeker outputs two sets of data:

[1] is the Direction, which is an integer value, 0-9 (we think)
[2] is a Signal Strength array, with the five values

We discovered this later last night, so we won't be able to do any testing until tomorrow. So, if you know, what sort of data kicks out of that array? Is it just positive numbers, such as 0-10, or 1-100? How does it show it has ZERO signal strength?

I think we can do math on those values, as you suggested, but I'm just unsure what exact data is used to represent those signal strengths.
