Testing the System
There are quite a few components involved in this system, and this increases the
likelihood of a wiring error. That’s why it’s important to have a test program that shows
you what the infrared detectors are sensing. You can use this program to verify that all
the circuits are working before unplugging the Boe-Bot from its serial cable and testing
other objects.
Example Program – TestIrPairsAndIndicators.bs2
√ Reconnect power to your board.
√ Enter, save, and run TestIrPairsAndIndicators.bs2.
