Figure 8-9 
Test for Low Zone 
Number – Top View 
√  Place your Boe-Bot so that both IR LED/detector pairs are focused directly at the 
center of your electrical tape stripe (see Figure 8-10 and Figure 8-11). 
√  Then, adjust your Boe-Bot’s position (toward and away from the tape) until both 
zone values reach the 4 or 5 level indicating that either a far away object is 
detected, or no object is detected. 
√  If you are having difficulties getting the higher readings with your electrical tape 
course, see Trouble Shooting the Electrical Tape Course on page 289.
