Latest Maqueen Plus V2 IR sensors reversed

It looks like the latest run of Maqueen Plus V2 has the left and right IR sensors reversed. Since they are on the I2C bus I would assume the addresses are mixed up.

The product manager is currently confirming the details. As soon as the confirmation is received, I will respond to you immediately.

I hope dfrobot will clarify this issue. Maybe there had been some updates with the V2.1 

However, if you ever consider using an easy to code IoT Educational Robot for your class, you make and use something like this.

I just noticed there is a version block. So we need this for now.

Looking at the PCB I see that my older robots are V2.0 while my 3 new robots are V2.1. Is there a way to change the GitHub extension to detect the board version and make the adjustments in the extension code? 

 

Also the V2.1 run much faster! Different gear ratio? That is a bit chaotic in the classroom. But not as much as the sensor issue.
