Re: IR sensor problems

when you soldered the sensor to the wires, did you cross the wires over like it shows in the sensor drawings? if you plug them straight into a pwm cable, the wrong signals will be on the pins

if your sensor is on solid then something is wrong, you should get a pulse with a 10mS period if its seeing the beacon - BTW the beacon is very bright and bouces off walls in small rooms, people, boxes... and covering it with your hand wont block the light. you really need to be out in a large open space to work with the IR system.
