Hi All,
Dennis Clark gave us a great design for a two channel infra-red
proximity detector. It works well in a large number robot
designs. I have just completed an IRPD with a slightly different
design point. It is a single channel detector, housed in a
standard 2x4 bump brick. This allows more flexability is positioning,
and a simpler programming interface. The cost is a
second sensor port, compared to Dennis' design. A three position
range switch, combined with analog sensor value, allow
range adjustment from three inches to a foot. Optical biasing can
increase the range up to three feet. Pictures and schematic
on http://www.flash.net/~sevcik/IRprox.htm Let me know what you
think.

| (...) Very nice! Although I think your statement about robots breaking apart when they hit a wall is a bit over-dramatic. Lego creations stick together pretty well -- I've built a large number of robots with mechanical bump sensors. That's not to (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
