Hi DJ and guys;

I just got a shipment of the Sharp GP2D12 IR Sensors and started messing around with them. How do I know its working? I hooked it up to the EZ-Controller tried out the Sharp IR Collision Detection function and I can see my values change as I wave my hand in front of it, so I guess that works. As for the Sharp IR Radar control, I think I'm having trouble figuring that out. I see it scanning and a blurred streak appears but it doesnt change distance or size as I wave my hand around it. Is there a tutorial or video on how to set it up? I really like to use the IR RADAR CONTROL MODE....

Also can you suggest any other compatible substitute IR sensors?, those GP2D12 are hard to come by.....

Thanks

As far as a ping sensor, for mine I was thinking of putting one on the front leg. You see where there are 2 silver spots just above the foot? I was thinking of putting it there.

Could anybody provide me with a ebay link to a cheap R2D2?

Try a search for "interactive r2d2". Its hard to find one cheap. Watch each one until the last two minutes then bid when in last 30seconds. Be willing to let it go if it gets more expensive than youre willing to spend. Theres always others.

i got one for $30 ,cant wait to hack it

jamer person.....great idea
