All that I have tried has created errors though.

Any hints?
Use the beacon code and hook the IR sensor to Digital Input 6.
Add printf("%d",(int) rc_dig_in06); anywhere that gets executed regularly, like Process_Data_From_Local_IO. You'll see a stream of 1's when the beacon is off, and a mixture of 1's and 0's when the beacon is on.
