I'm learning the Parallax BoeBot in preparation for a class I'm assisting and I'm trying to figure out if everyone has the same issues with the IR sensors that I am having.
I set up the BoeBot with the IR sensors from Parallax and everything works fine, except that the sensors seem to fail all the time. Over the course of 6 hours I had to replace 2 different sensors. According to the professor, they had the same issues in the past as well. Does anyone know if this is a common problem with the parallax IR sensors, or if there is a workaround? Any advice would be useful.
