-To enter shooter mode (as long as you are using the original, unmodified software for main.c with RUNNING_MODE_M3_T3 defined), just hold down BTN2 while you cycle power on the ZYBO board. The board will come up in shooter mode. Now, perform the same tests as before but watch to see that the histograms on both kits accumulate hits on the correct frequencies.

The board will come up in shooter mode. Now, perform the same tests as before but watch to see that the histograms on both kits accumulate hits on the correct frequencies. If you do not detect hits, the problem is likely the following:
   * Your fudge factor may be too large of a value. Experiment with lower values for the fudge factor until you can detect hits at a reasonable distance. Try to select a fudge factor that is low enough to detect hits at a reasonable distances but is high enough that background noise does not cause false hits.   * Your fudge factor may be too large of a value.

 +The focus of this report should be on the assembly and function of the two laser-tag kits. This document should show that you know how the kit parts function, and at a high level, how the software interacts with the hardware. You should capture evidence that your kits are working (oscilloscope plots). Save the details of your statistical experiments for the Statistical Report (a separate document). ​
