Motor Stop and resume based on two photo eyes

I want to stop the motot "motor 1" if both photo eyes are blocked, otherwise the mototr is moving and resumed with no problem.
If both photo eyes (PE1 and PE2) are blocked, stop "motor 1." Resume its operation when at least one of the photo eyes is no longer blocked.

Hi @AboElfadl,

I have made a small edit to your model that allows the photo eyes to turn the motor on and off. I first connected the two photo eyes together using a center port connection, and then connected each photo eye to the motor. I then added a on block and an on clear trigger to each of the photo eyes. On the on block trigger I added an if statement that checks to see if both photo eyes are in the blocked state, if both are blocked, then I stop the motor. If they are not both blocked, then nothing happens.

The on clear trigger just resumes the motor once either of the photo eyes are no longer blocked. I also was noticing that you are getting a lot of exceptions and I was able to get rid of those by deleting the triggers on the Robot.
