Re: Vex Light Sensor on FRC Bot

We found that when using a Vex Line Following Sensor on An FRC bot it is much easier to use it as a digital input. Assuming you are using Black and White you will either get a 0 for black and a 1 for white or vice versa.

On another note if the IR sensor is about 3 inches away form our lap counter how much interference will it receive? I think I might just put some cardboard around it on all sides to be safe.
