| (...) i do not have the Mobile robots inspiration book, but i think if you want to use it in a good way you will have to flash the right led for a time, check for reflection, then switch it of and check if there is also reflection (then it was (...)

| I am looking at the Schematic in the HB HP right now. It looks like the 1K resistor is connected to the visible LED. From the schematic, it looks like you can connect a resitor and IR LED in series to the "3-pin female header" to make your (...) (28 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| I had intended the two types of interfaces for different purposes, but, I assume RF does not need line of site work. R/C cars for example can be controlled from several rooms away in my house (worked with one on a telepresence implementation). I (...) (28 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| The software written by Max Davies should allow transmission as well as receiving. The information that I have doesn't include the hardware layout but as far as I understand the 1K resistor in the IR transmission circuit on the board should allow an (...)

| I heard that radio waves do not need "line-of-sight" like IR does. Can someone with more exerience verify or dispute this? It makes sense since longer wavelengths of EMR can bounce off surfaces easier. So maybe your Lynx device is better. ---...--- (...) (28 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
