Step 1 is to get your Funhouse set up in the Adafruit IO WipperSnapper page. Follow the instructions in the Quickstart guide to do this.
- Position the ends of the sensor to face each other with some tape.
- Now place your hand inbetween both sides of the sensor to "break" the beam.
- Check the WipperSnapper device page to see if the value changes from "unbroken" to "broken" for your sensor.
Troubleshooting the Sensor
If you are not receiving feedback from the sensor, verify the following:
- The sensor is correctly wired according to the directions on the "Add the IR Sensor" page
- The Stemma cable is connected to the A2 pin on the FunHouse
- The sensor ends are not more than 20" or 50cm from each other.
