Need help figuring out how to run 2 different boe bots, each with their own remotes. Believe they just need different frequencies, and we have the core program from the IR book.. jumpin.gif

    I haven't had much luck with eliminating IR remote crosstalk. When I want two remote controlled robots, I usually use RF modules to control one, and the IR remote to control the other. To make the two robots equivalent, I measure the average delay between servo pulses on the IR controlled bot, and add pauses between PULSOUT commands to the RF controlled bot code.

    Here is a link to documentation on how to make my favorite Boe-Bot controller. It's the one I use along with the IR remote at demonstrations and trade shows:

    A Tilt Radio Controller for Your Boe-Bot

    This is one of many cool projects documented on the Stamps in Class "Mini Projects" page.
