Boe-bot IR detectors...

One of them is detecting things +3ft out while the other detects at 2ft. Same circuits, switch detectors to confirm and still happens.
Is this much of a gap normal? I know they can be fine-tuned using different resistors... but it seems like a big difference...

    you should be able to switch out the resistors for variable resistors and fine tune them to the same distance. I don't have a Boe-bot but I've done that on some of my other projects.

    good luck
