To Ryan and majormusic,
If you have any trouble we will try to help. Page 13 of the robot manual shows the correct wiring for the optical sensor. The Robot Controller docs on the Innovation First website will not only give you the pinout for the digital inputs, but it also explains what variables the input is mapped to in the default code.
Please Note: The sensor supplied in the kit is intended for use with retro reflective targets but can false trigger on most highly reflective materials like white tape and aluminum plate. There is a sensitivity control on the sensor and some tally lights that light when the trigger is sensed. Adjust the sensitivity until you reliably trigger on what you want. Be sure that the bright lights of the playing field will not affect operation by adjusting sensitivity or protecting the sensor from the lighting.
You can PM me if you wish, just let me know here, I don't check my messages that often.
