It seems to me that the first thing most people want to add to their
robots that is not supported on the handyboard itself, is IR

detector and demodulator circuit for IR phototransistors /
photodiodes?

What do other people think?

(...) I've got a PIC chip programmed with IR collision-detection built into it (I'm trying to get some of the new 8 pin PICs to see if I can make an "all in one" unit. Basically the interface is two bits: bit 0 output - Turn on IR illumination (...) (27 years ago, 14-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I used the one available IR LED driver on the HB to drive a Radio Shack high-output IR LED. This, along with a Radio Shack IR decoder module (a little silver box about the size of a sugar cube that takes +5vdc and ground, and outputs a TTL level (...)
