How does IR beacon connect to EDU RC?
In the diagram on FIRST website, the IR transimitters are connected to a 3-pin PWM port. And according the other documents, the beacon is supposed to be powered by the EDU RC. But the EDU RC we have only has 4-pin PWMs. So how do we go from 3-pin to 4-pin or are we missing something very obvious?
Our robot is driving and we have a arm that can go up to 8 ft. We have 17 days to figure out the autonomous mode. But without getting the IR beacon to working, we can't start automode programming. Appreciate any help in advance. |

Re: How does IR beacon connect to EDU RC?
only three of the pins on the PWM ports do anything, I think the 4th pin is an extra power or gnd pin
check the EDU RC reference manual at the innovationFIRST website - there is also a whole page of links there that explains how to use the EDU as a beacon. |
