Is the ir emitter on the handyboard just a standard red led? Is it efficient at
emitting in the IR range. Are there better emitters? I want to build an emitter
and detector set and have studied the multiplexing circuit posted. It uses the
same LED. The circuit doesn't give a part number for the Sharp detector. Does
some one know what it is, what are some of the other detectors that can be
used.

I believe you have the IR output indicator confused with the emmitter driver. The red LED indicates that IR output is being transmitted. (That is...if you have an external IR LED attached to the HB.) There is a header for it. You can get a detector (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
