Howdy,
Is there anyone out there that can explain programming IC for IR collision
avoidance. I have read the mobile robots book and everything in the IC
manual I downloaded and the 6.270 hardware info but still haven't got a good
grasp of the best approach. I have got a couple IR LEDs and a decoder I got
a Rat Shack. I have tried a Phototransistor with an IR LED but the
sensitivity was really unpredictable, with hardly any range. I was wondering
about programming the IR out to pulse an IR LED and connecting the decoder
to a digital input but I really don't know just how. There is an example in
the mobile robotics book but again I am somewhat confused. Can anyone help
me with the hardware and code?
Appreciate anybodys help,
Bill Rose

| This question seems to come up a lot here so I thought I'd post to the list rather than reply individually. Here's what I'm doing for IR collision avoidance. First, the hardware: I'm using 3 Radio Shack IR LED's in parallel and 3 Radio Shack IR (...) (28 years ago, 24-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
