    As long as MAX 25mA drive to the LED give you enough range... there's no 'real' need for the extra transistor.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    The IR led I use in the 'gun' module is boosted at 1A (!!!) so I have to use a HEXFET.
    Anyway, for the "Supplier module", it is only to send a 14bits message and as I wrote above, to avaoid cheating, I really need to use a wired link instead of IR link. So I have to avoid using IR link.

    Except for the 'heating/burning' pads...
