Hello
I would like to test a IR receiver (model RB-See-185) with my GrovePi-Raspberry but I don’t know if I do the correct actions.
I connect the sensor on a A0 port and launch the script : /Desktop/GrovePi/Software/Python/grove_ir_receiver.py (with parameter in script pin port=1).
The disc image on SD card is original “Dexter Industries Raspbian for Robots” image.
Nothing is not happening when I test with my remote controler.
I have tested:
– an other analogic port
– a numeric port
but nothing.
Could you help me?
All update are done on software and firmware.
Hello,
Please connect the IR receiver to the RPi serial port on the GrovePi and use the code in the following link github.com/DexterInd/GrovePi/tr … r_receiver
Let us know the results
Hello
I have done the script with the ir receiver on serial port. Below script logs.
Nothing appears on screen 
Thank you.
