  IR output
 
What type of IR component do I need to attach to the Handyboard to allow the IR output to function? Searching the FAQ and documentation only showed the connection circuit up to the point of the header strip. I assume it wouldn't be the same as the (...)

  Re: IR output
 
You can connect an IR LED to it. Maybe you may need a series resistor to limit the current through it as well. Basically, the IR LED acts as a transmitter (the same round thing in front of your remote). The demodualator is not a transmitter...it is (...)

  Re: IR output
 
In response to: (...) Could a hardware expert (Fred?) please give a more definitive answer to this? What value resistor should be used? After extensive IR use with just an IR led and no resistor my transmission circuit eventually died... I guess I (...) (26 years ago, 22-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: IR outputB
 
(...) o Hi Did anyone receive an answer to this. I ant to connect a Radio Shack (276-143) IR LED to the IR output and am wondering what resistance to use. Also, I saw a design in Mobile Robots..Inspirition where they use two IR LED (one on each (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: IR outputB
 
Is the IR reciever on the HB the same thing as in the robot in MR:ITI book? I though it would be different. In any case, you can but...the reciever is more effective as a "wireless communication" device that can recieve various IR codes which you (...)

  Re: IR outputB
 
(...) 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 (...)
