Re: IR Beacon/reciever not working... still...

Yes, we have been having problems too.

We have set up our system with the proper code running on both the EDU and Full-Size RC, the beacons wired correctly and the detectors hooked to the correct pins. We know that the beacon is emitting infrared, since we can detect it with a learning remote. When the bacon is off, the remote says "No Infrared Detected." We need to figure out if the beacons are somehow emitting the wrong waveforms/frequencies, or if our detectors are just faulty (we have tried more than one). We have hooked the sensors to various inputs, and even wired it to an LED, to no avail. Is there any way to do this without an oscilloscope or other expensive instrument that we do not have? We have everyone that knows anything about the code and infrared stumped, even the engineers. Any hints on other things to test or try?
