4. Attach a QTI sensor to the other end of each threaded standoff, using a 3/8-inch screw. The
sensors should be facing downwards, and the 3-pin headers on each sensor should be pointing
towards the back of the chassis.
5. If necessary, slightly loosen the 7/8-inch screws and adjust the position of the QTI sensors so
that they are closely positioned edge to edge.
6. Tighten all connections securely.

Building the Sensing Circuits
Each QTI B pin is tied to Vss (ground) and each W pin is connected to Vdd (5 V). R pin connects to a
BASIC Stamp I/O pin:
Far right to P4
Mid right to P5
Mid left to P6
Mid right to P7
Use the schematic and the wiring diagram below to build the circuits for the three-pin headers.
Although there are many ways this circuit can be built, the setup shown below is useful because
it's thrifty with breadboard real-estate. Also, if you are using a HomeWork Board with your Boe-
Bot, it won’t interfere with the servo connections.
