Re: Problems with IR sensor

Wait!

Don't use the colors, I have seen pictures where the ribbon has been flip, so in one case +Vin is Black and White, the other case it's red and brown.
Plus it depends on how you orient the connector since it is not keyed in any way. So follow the instructions and trace pins 1 and 2 for +Vin and pins 3 and 4 for GND. OUT0 is pin 8, OUT1 is pin 6, OUT2 is pin 5, and OUT3 is pin 7. Use an ohm meter is you have one and are not sure how the ribbon relates to the connector. Notice that the OUT# to pin# is not in sequential order.

I hope this helps you.
