Thanks for the reply, André. I've read that the IR emitters are "low-power". Does this mean the red LED on Spybot would have a longer range than the IR emitters if used in proximity detection? Since the LED is recessed, I guess is would have a (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

| | Proximity detection?
|

I tried, but I've reached the limit of my ability and patience (I'm not sure which ran out first). This much I know: the Spybot can do proximity detection if what it is detecting is a well-defined IR-emitting object such as a Spybot controller or (...)

Here's an addition to the NQC Spybot API that lets you write programs like this: #include "spy.nqh" task main() { int x = 0; int t = MIN_BOTID; while (t < MAX_BOTID) { SetTargetID(t); SetTargetNote(x); SetWorldNote(t, x); x = Target(SPY_SHORTID); x (...)

|

Rather to use sound I'm thinking about using the IR port at back of Spybotic to interface with an IR receiver and then using an I2C bus to control a serial to parallel interface. It's just a concept right now. I haven't much time to work on that. If (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

| | Use of audio output as servo control?

Hello, I have a slightly different idea, I have read where the duration/freq of the sound output from spybots can be controlled, has anybody determined the granularity of this control? My idea was to harness this via handyboard/PIC to control futaba (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
