IR sensor trouble
We are pretty sure that we have our IR sensor all hooked up right, but we are not getting a consistent output. When our sensor is pointed directly at the beacon (within 2 inches), we still get alot of 1s and not very many 0s. When we completely cover the sensor up, we get the same pattern. The only way the pattern stops is when we unplug the beacon. Is this normal output?
