Quoted from DumbAss:
If you see a blue glow then you have IR light being emitted. If you don't see a blue glow you cannot draw any conclusion. It could be the emitter does not work or it could be the wavelength is being blocked by your camera. Try BOTH cameras (the regular and the selfie). If you want to check against a control (known good) then point the camera at the Bumper Lane Opto transmitter that you know works and see if your camera detects it.
DumbAss Thank you for taking your time and effort to teach me how to work this problem. I learned a lot from of this troubleshooting experience.
I wanted to mark this thread resolved and what I did to resolve the problem:
Changed the LM339AN's on the Opto Board, fixed the issue of not being able to trigger a signal on the switch test during testing.
I also had a problem with the Opto Board and I ended up replacing the 100uf/35VDC to fix a "Jitter" problem.
Replaced the the transmitter and receiver (in pairs) using QED123 and QSD124 on the Bookcase and the Bumper Lane optos to fix the final issue.
