PBP projects for R/C models

[Kenjones1935]

I've been having trouble testing this new feature. First, the car behaves as if there is noise in the SFR05 responses. I have no idea if that is truly the case. The car toggles when I don't think it should. AND when that happens it takes off on its own. It is way too fast to catch It dodges all around in inside my garage. When I used channel 3 I had an over ride. Not now. (even as I write I ask myself why not, for testing purposes, reactivate channel 3) Dumbo - of course!

I like the IR beam idea. How do I implement that? Do I purchase a heat lamp? Is that the IR wavelength that the sensors recognize?

Yup, gotta have an emergency stop button. Remember HAL ?

For the IR parts use something like the ones at the bottom right of this page.

Same basic IR stuff that is used in TV remotes.

And this page has several IR projects to look at that might get you going with the idea.
