Hey I just got the stamp collection from parallax and the IR Buddy. My questions are:

1. Can I make my IR buddy just like the IR sensors I know stupid ? but im not done I mean how do I hook it up to roam around and watch out for stuff. I just need a breadboard diagram for the IR Buddys.

2. Is there any difference in programming with the SX/p24/bs2E

*Im currently using BS2 but i would like to use 2E

any help is thankful

    The SERIN/SEROUT baudmode parameter differs between some Stamp modules; as it turns out, though, the parameter for the BS2e is the same as the BS2 -- this means you can use the demo code as is.

    If you want IR collision detection, you need the "SSIR" sensors. These are very simple -- basically an IR-LED and an IR-Detector on three pins.

    The IR-Buddy is specialized for sending and recieving RC-5 button codes. You really can't use these for collision detection. That is, if you really have an IR-Buddy.
