IR beacon

I'm trying to send simple serial data out using an IR emitter. I looked at the example that the BS manual has for BS-1 - that uses a 555 and 2n2222 transistor. Is there another way to doing this? I do not want to use a ready made product like the one from sharp - only because, I'd like to keep the size small.

Also, on the receiving end, can I use the IR Receiver (forget the model #) that came with the Robotics pack ?


Please comment with your ideas.

thanks a lot

Wander over to the Rentron website [noparse][[/noparse]www.rentron.com ]and take a look at the FireStick.
