We are using the Home Board Of Education (Boe-Bot) and we have a problem with the infrared LEDs. They don't work. However, we have tested them a couple of times. What can be wrong?

Thanks.

    There can be a 1,000,000 things wrong.

    However, to eliminate 999,995 we'll need: source code and wiring.

    A detail photo of the board can work also, or both, even better.

    If the infrared LED wires have been twisted together it will possibly short out the LED.· Make sure to follow the "Robotics'" text and run the test code for the infrared detection.

    Also, how are you testing them? When you look at them on the display of most digital cameras, you can see them light up.
