Help using two sharps

[Henrique]

How can I put 2 sharps in the axon ? I have a trouble to boot the program in axon. The error must not be in the program because the boot never happens succesfully when two sharps were connected there. I have connected in the ports I/O analog 4 and 5

I assume you mean the boot loader?  Are you using FBOOT or another method to load the program to the Axon?  If you had a previous program that was working can you reload that one successfully?  Do you have other devices connected, if so which ones?

I'll guess at the problem.
The Sharp IR sensors pull a large amount of current when they pulse their internal LED and the voltage to the processor dips enough to reset the processor. Even with only one Sharp sensor I and others have had processor problems. The common cure is to install a separate 5 Volt regulator (LM7805 or equivalent) to power the Sharp sensors. Another help is to add a low ESR cap of 10 to 25uF directly on the Sharps PCB.

Also do a search in this forum for more info and discussion of this issue.

Yes the boot loader and Im using FBOOT. I have 2 LDR's , and a L298 connected in axon.
