Maybe the ambient light is too high ? in that case you can decrease visible
light sensitivity as well as shielding detector from red LED light using
this method : http://www.philohome.com/sensors/ir_sensitivity.htm (only hope
that this doesn't offend your "Lego purity" sense ;o)

I have tried to get proximity dectection via RCX emitting IR

But the raw values seemed to be the same with/without emitting IR. Average

respectively. Never got a difference bigger than 100. Any idea?
