Hey, I don't have an active hive right now either... That's a great idea of sharing unfiltered data. I did capture some on another laptop for just that purpose. I'll...

@svavassori really nice analysis. I went down a similar rabbit holes (design thinking) about the bee counter. You've done a great job articulating the design thinking. @rodece thanks for providing...

- Scattering of the IR light on the abdomen is an interesting theory. The abdomen is striped and I also considered this might occur but never tested for it. The...

> I think we all agree looking at the test results, the head isn't detected at all, since there is no difference in the first two tables. In the second...

wow that is strange and really unfortunate. Good job finding it! I tested the board but must have a different gerber file posted. I don't have any PCB tools on...

Nice job. Well hopefully now that you have done the work, there'll be less to troubleshoot for the next person! On Fri, Mar 8, 2024 at 4:26 AM Jan-Olov -...

Hey, I'm just trying to catch up... What is the problem? The IR LEDs are not triggering a 3.3V sensor output? Is that correct? I see you tested the shift...

Ok, so when you bypass the mosfet (shorting across the mosfet) everything works? LEDs trigger the sensors?  FYI, you don't want to bypass the mosfet if you have soldered...

Ok, if those solder pads are open then you can short the mosfet all day and there is no problem. The other mosfet you mentioned, the [NDP6020](https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/ndp6020p-d.pdf), is a P-channel...

I think both mosfets should work... but sticking with the FQP30N06L for now... Can you check the voltage at the Drain pin when the gate is triggered ON. Looking at...
