| The GPIU58X is not an IR proximity switch but the hack provides an analogue level relating to the intensity of the received signal. Novasoft also sell the IR receivers (it's where I got mine from and I'm based in the UK). The address of Novasoft is (...) (28 years ago, 10-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Using a 'hacked' GPIU58X (see Novasoft website for acrobat file describing changes required) you can get an analogue reading relating to the distance from an object. The transmitting LED has to be modulated at the correct frequency and should be (...) (28 years ago, 10-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Hi All: With a lot of help from you all , I am finally able to send out a modulated signal from one HB which the other can recognize. :) Now I am trying out obstacle avoidance using the IR. I tried to use the standard ir_detect() function with the (...) (28 years ago, 9-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
