Bowling alley seems to work fine, but getting the error “bowling opto stuck closed” in test report.

The main opto beam in the front of the pins doesn’t trigger in switch test. I’ve reseated all the connectors, any other ideas on what to test? Or is this maybe a non issue given the bowling alley works?

Quoted from Rensh:

The only function of the opto is that tbl knows to pull the pins which are calculated to drop. So from a software point of view everything still will work on the display.
Are the pins still being pulled up when ball is released?
Than, is the light pad not blocked eg are the transmitter and sensor still in long with the holes? Reseated the connectors on the 2 optoboards I think. Crimping on cabling looks OK?

Found the opto connector plugged in one pin off. Error went away, thank you.
