(...) I just did this. First you need the source code for IC, the compiler, and apparently Unix since the source code requires some pre-processing and the script to do that works under Unix (which I don't have). An alternative method requires the (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Transmission and reception of IR data is quite different from using IR just to bounce it off obstacles to detect their presence. To exchange data with IR you will almost certainly have to use interrupt driven assembler code which can be very (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks to everyone that responded to my previous post for this set. I just picked up a couple more of these sets, but not at quite the same discount :( I am offering them for sale at $46.00 each, this price does includes shipping so it should still (...)

(...) Looks incredble so far. The photo loading speed was great (but I have a 155 connection). I'd like to see larger photos. The whole web site could be larger - it looks like ti 640x480 resolution. Consider going up to 600x800. Great designs, nice (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.build, lugnet.publish)

(...) Ah. The photos are already cropped from the originals. My white background was telling my light meter that I should expose for a shorter time than the model requires. I'll have to rig up some darker backgrounds. Good tip. This was also my (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Hi Will: What you say might be the reason for my problem hence I bought a matched IR emitter and detector pair from Radio Shack and tried the same thing. Here again, the emitter is sending the signal but the detector is not able to see it. I (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Well, I'm cheap ;^) I'm using the free version. I might be lured into buying the commercial version: I'd sure love to have structs and multidimensional vectors. I think I will miss function pointers... Is there any source coming with the (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) The Sharp IR detector is designed to respond only to modulated IR signals. The card from Radio Shack will indicate whether the LED is illuminated, but it won't tell you whether it's modulated at the proper frequency. Perhaps that could be the (...)
