Some EDURobotics Problems

Hey everyone! I'm having a few problems with the EDURobot, and I was hoping I could get a little help here.
  • Input Values - Our analog inputs read in values from about 10-998, and our digital inputs read 0 or 256. I'm not sure if this is that much of a problem. We've been able to work around them when programming. Apparently the analog inputs should be 0-255 and digital inputs 0 or 1. I'm pretty sure I've put the right devices in the right pins .
  • Banner Sensors (QS18VN6LV) - We learned that the first sensor we worked with was bad (after a week or so ), and after getting our second one to work it also went bad. We have a third sensor working, but in summary it's been a pain. After looking through the manuals for the sensors, we learned that the sensors were not working due to an "output overload" (blinking green light). One sensor blinked when it detected dark, the other blinked only when it detected light. How do we circumvent this error?

Thanks!
