IR remote

Can the IR remote work with the sumo bot or just only with the boebot?

D Faust

I do not own a sumo-bot, but from what I have read, I think its board·has a built in stamp and uses PBASIC.··If this is true·I do not see why it wouldn't work.· I am fairly certain that other people have asked the same or similar questions.· Also, check the manual to see if anything conflicts.· Try searching the forums.· You are talking about the IR remote kit for the boe-bot, right?

i am talking about thr IR remote

Mike Green

The Sumo-Bot uses the same IR detectors as are used for IR remote control reception, so the hardware is already present. You might want to add an additional IR detector on a spare I/O pin with a wider range of view for use only with the remote. You would need to add software for IR decoding to the existing Sumo-Bot program that you're using. The tutorial "IR Remote for the Boe-Bot robot" (here: www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/siccurriculum/documentation_sic_curriculum.asp) shows you how it all works and gives sample code.

when i read the product it says an universal remote that works with sony so can i just use a sony remote?

science_geek

yes any remote will work you just have to change the program a bit to make an accomodation for the different signal, i have done it with many different remotes

Mike Green

The examples and discussion in the tutorial are for the Sony remote protocol, so a real Sony remote ought to work.
