    Nice project PJ Allen! Even got a kick out of the folded paper hoodie light shield on the video! wink.gif

    I saw some one cut the top off of a replacement pencil eraser. You then slide and LED or receiver into the hole the eraser on the pencil goes into. the poke easily through the eraser and up throught what would the the top of the replacement eraser. It makes a nice neat hood for the LED or receiver and they are available in lots of colors.

    Thanks for all the info!

    Allen,

    I also found that the IR detector cannot work when inside a hot car. ( that has been parked under the sun for 1 hour plus).
    Only after the air-cond has cooled down the car, can the detector detect IR signals again.
