video of guy using these sensors as edge sensors

This is not what you're looking for, those are 38Khz IR receivers for TV remotes etc.

I think this is more what you're looking for, they even output a analog signal based on the IR reflectance!

thanks for the heads up........how about this link

this is a transmitter and led......so this is essentially both pieces melted into one?

anywho this is what i found is this comperable to the one you pointed out?

linky!

Yes, that one looks fine, but there you have to adjust sensitivity on the board itself, not via software, looks like it also just outputs a ADC value.

actually this one is a 3 pin connector, im trying to avoid having to solder.....

check this one out.

new sensor on ebay

to be able to adjust sensitivity on software, would the sensor have to be a digital vs analog?

thanks again for your help...

Mr. Netherlands

For software sensitivity you could also choose digital, but it would be much harder than analog because you'll have to measure time for a capacitor to discharge so i would go with the one i just sent to you, can't be that hard, 3 wires?

yeah maybe your right, im going to have to solder when i get the mp3 trigger and the wifi cam....

thanks man

also, can this one be uses as a microphone? for voice commands? found it on the same site you posted...3 wires too...

what do you think? link

No, you can't hook up a microphone directly to the EZ-B, you need a wireless microphone that is connected to your PC blush

i was hoping that wasnt the case, well you saved me 50 bucks in sensors....thats man... going tithe mp3 trigger and the sensor you posted...

Glad to have helped :D

@hoolagen1, Generally you don't want a mic in the robot because the robot is too loud. DJ recomends using the computer mic or table top mic. I use the one on my web cam. Works great!

gotcha, thanks man
