HI all: I see on the BoeBot, Parallax uses small IR sensors, about the size
of an LED.
Where are these small sensors sold? I cannot use the larger tincan style IR
sensor for my application.

Just last week, I was just investigating the RS IR sensor pair that you mention
below, and I decided that it was a lot of hard work and required several chips,
soldering and lots of additional understanding. I downloaded the data sheets
for these two items and found I need several extra chips. So I've decided that
buying a Sharp IR sensor was the way to go for my needs. And I understand it a
bit better.
Since you recommend the RS hardware, I'm now wondering if I haven't missed
something by not using the Sharp's ready to go sensor.
As always,
Thanks for the help.

hardware for its IR system, it has a 3 lead IR receiver, about the size of
an LED.
The RS tincan style digital output reciever is fine, but to large for my
applications.

connection to the base, which was not normally used, since the I/R signal
biases the base -- this is apparently not the case for the ones include with
the BOEBOT.
I checked the Robotics 1.2 Experiments 1-4 on the Parallax web site, and it
indicates the I/R receivers used with the BOEBOT do look for a 38 Khz
signal. The I/R diodes on the BOEBOT are modulated to 38 Khz with a 555
timer chip.
The tin can receivers are usually designed to receive a 38 or 40 Khz
modulated I/R signal, like you would receive from a TV remote control.

its made for 40khz and a op-amp I think.

have 3 leads, and a digital output. Of course the Boebot manual does not say
where these detectors come from, and I cannot find them on the parallax site
either. Possibly they come with the BoeBot kit?

We sell both shrink wrapped IR LEDs and IR detectors (equivalent to the
Panasonic PNA 4602) on our www.parallaxinc.com Products page. Follow the
Optoelectronics link near the bottom of the Products page.
Clarification regarding modulation. If you are sending a square wave out
the IR LEDs, 40 kHz is center frequency for the detectors we sell. If you
are using the "freqout trick" documented in chapter 6 of Robotics! v1.3 or
v1.4 for a vague form of distance detection, you can get a rough idea of the
distance of an object using the values supplied in the text. Attempting to
fine tune for higher distance resolution or for use outside this educational
application is not recommended.
Another thing about modulation, make sure the square wave is close to 50%
duty cycle. Deviating too far from 50% causes the IR detector output to get
stuck sending an active-low IR detected signal.

The IR diodes are off-the-shelf (you can get them from Radio Shack). ·The
receivers are made by Panasonic (PNA4602) and are available from Parallax and
other sources.

HI all: I see on the BoeBot, Parallax uses small IR sensors, about the
size
of an LED.
Where are these small sensors sold? I cannot use the larger tincan style
IR
sensor for my application.
