Can someone please attempt to help me out.. second posting???


I want to get five handyboards to talk to each other using infrared
transmission...  I use infrared transmitter/receiver reflectance sensors
for other things...

1)  What parts (I need distributer and part number) do I need to get and
    can I hook up 4 trnsmitters in series to the IR output ports?
    What else do I need?

2)  Will it be a problem using the IR transmitters to send signals while
    using the reflectance sensors near the receivers???

P.S.  I hooked up a high output infrared transmitter (dark blue glass) to
the IR OUT sockets, and used ir_transmit_on to activate it.  I used the
Radio Shack plastic IR sensor (cool thing) and it works, but the LED gets
really hot... DO I still need a 330 ohm (or so) resistor between anode and
Handyboard???


Sincerely,

Yoni Garbourg
