Hi Campbell, There's no guaranteed method of knowing which beam is being broken since (i) the beams are not really sharp beams but instead a fuzzy field-of-view, (ii) the beams are an artifact of optics, not electronics, and (iii) when a person walks by the sensor, the person's path may not

The C keyword 'const' can be used to tell the compiler to put something in program memory: const uint8_t foo[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; BTW, if you just try to insert this line into nesc code, you won't see any difference in the RAM/ROM statistics because the compiler will eliminate it as dead code.
