Hi Gordon,

    When you mentioned about "doesn't have a ground in it", are
    you refering to the part the drives the LEDs, right ? If so, the
    explaination of the circuit is that when the output of the inverter
    that connected to a 100 ohm register goes low then
    the current can flow through the LED into the inverter (sinking
    the current).

Hi All,
   Had anyone actually built the Infared LED emitter circuit that is on • the
Rug Warrior? (i.e. pg 108 of Chapter 5 of the book "Mobile Robots" by • Jones
and Flynn). I've looked at it and I can't for the life of me figure out • how
it works. Before I get the soldering Iron out, I'd like someone to tell • me
that "Yep, it works" and try and explain how something that doesn't have • a
ground in it can work.  Thanxs for your time and replies.

Gordon F. Smith II
