Re: I/R trouble!!!

They break really easy. During shipping, I almost guarantee you that at least one sensor will break. We made our mounts modulized so its like a connector which can be replaced easily.

I recommend doing a printf in each in receiver.c to check if every handler that has sensors attached is receiving a signal in the handler. This is how I tell if a sensor is broken or not. If the handler never gets called to print the debug statement and your sending infra-red signals to it, the sensor is broken.

Thanks,
Ryan Waliany
