Re: How should we wire the photoswitchs?
I've wired the sensor with:

Blue: +12v from PDB
Brown: Ground on PDB
White: a DS signal pin
Black: another DS signal pin

When it receives power the orange and yellow lights alternate. Is there any documentation about the status lights? I read the document regarding Teach mode but I don't think that applies to our sensor (no push-button that I can find).

I think my code is correct but I'd like to see example code (Didn't they specifically mention that in the kickoff broadcast?). I can't find any bundled with WindRiver.
