Infrared diode sensor information
I'm trying to Google some information on using IrLED's for sensors, hopefully to pick up the reflected light for navigation of a robot.
I wonder if anyone has any informative links they'd like to share. One article mentioned driving the LED with 40kHz, but I dunno why..... Anyways I've got an idea for another project/toy I'm trying to research.
That reminds me, I need to find out if this post is proper etiquette for the Parallax forums. I'm using a BS2, but this isn't really a Parallax question.

"puff"...... Smile, there went another one.

This is the Sensors forum and you're asking about a kind of sensor. Another appropriate forum would be the Sandbox.
I'll read it over. I suppose I'll have some more questions when I'm finished. I'll likely post it in the sandbox forum like you suggest. This forum appears to be for Parallax sensors only.
