I am newbie with a Boe-Bot. I am having trouble with the light sensor program on Page 204. I have already had another person double check my programming and my wiring. I need help. Suggestions please!!

    Can't make suggestions without more data. For a start, what do you mean by "trouble"? That could mean almost anything. The code on page 204 of Robotics with the BoeBot does work. How do you have it wired? Do you have fresh batteries?

    The Boe-Bot is wired correctly because another person has already double checked it. I have put in new batteries. All the Boe-Bot does is follow the servo routine regardless of lighting conditions. Thanks.

    Like Mike said, more info!!! The more you give the better your chances are of getting quality help. Post your code and a pic that shows your connections (if possible) and explain in full detail what it is and is not doing and what you "expect" it to do. First and foremost, again like Mike said, make certain you have fresh batteries. If you do not have fresh batteries, do you have a wall wart to use for testing purposes? Low batteries is one of the most common problems when you know for certain the wiring and code is correct. However, there could also be a short in one or more of the wires.
