Kalyan,

Both Marvin Green and Dennis Clark have IRPD kits (fairly cheap) that
IMO are much better than the Lynxmotion unit (I have all three).

   http://www.verinet.com/~dlc/projects/botproj.htm

If you get either Marvin's or Dennis' IRPD kit, I can send you PIC
source code for either board that will greatly improve the noise
rejection.

Good luck and have fun,
- Nick -

If you check http://www.acroname.com, you will find IRPD's with very
narrow detection zones.  Those are good for many applications.  If you
need one with wide coverage just for obstacle avoidance, check
http://www.lynxmotion.com/irpd.htm.  One or the other of those sites
should work for you.

(...) [snip] Hey Nick! Heck, I'd be interested in how you made the noise rejection even better! That is the part I spent the most time on! DLC (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
