You don't need white and black, pick one. White will tell you when you see light, black will tell you when you see dark, so if you have one, you know the other.
Hello, this is my first year in FRC, and my mentor set me on the task of an issue we were having with the light sensor. I'm sorry if I sound like a complete newb but where exactly does the blue/black and the brown/red attach to on the PD Board? This forum has been very helpful to me and I thank you all for your input.
