The Infrared Shields

See those little brass tubes on the LEDs? They are needed to block any IR

light going directly from the LEDs (inside the brass tubes) to the receiver

(the black domed component in the center of the sensor). We want the light

to bounce off an object first.

They are held on with Super Glue. You can remove them, but it might

require a bit of acetone. If you plan to mount the ZX Sensors in your own

housing, make sure IR light can’t travel directly from the sides of the LEDs

to the receiver (i.e. you will want to make your own IR shields).

Hardware Hookup

Add Headers

Solder a row of break away male headers to the 9 headers holes on the

board.

Connect the Breakout Board

For the Arduino examples, we will be using I C. Connect the breakout

board to the following RedBoard pins:
