I tried it yesterday and it flushed
but I had it connected to an RC Receiver instead of a PIC.

I just need help with electrical not mechanical (got that working yesterday)

I just wanted to know since I am a beginner at PICs

if it would be easier to do it with the Sharp GP2D12
or IR receiver and IR Led.

Now I know the Sharp is easier but how difficult would it be to make a program
with the IR receiver and IR Led?
