have 2 ir recievers from my wall-e project. Looking to make a cheap/nearly free home base ir reciever.
Could they be hacked up to work with the ez-b and my laptop(and extention cables from my laptop)?
Could anyone point me towards a post similar to this?
YOU would need 2 of then at least at $25 each including shipping
couldnt we tweak the coding in it to acomodate serial instead of i2c
YES,but cheapest way way to go is ,just use the IR transceiver you first posted hook up to digital port and read the PWM value only cost you about $0,both designs will need a IR TRANSCEIVER TSAL7200 AT $.80 EACH ,so your total cost would be about $2.00
TRY to understand serial is for communcation ,not for beacon used for Ir Autonomous Home Base
yea just wrapping my head around things. So read pwm values from the receiver. and just give the tranciever power?(doesnt require serial connection)
so this.
nevermind dont even need cables
going to need to drive the transceiver with a pwm value and i will need a transistor
here is info on SET PWM for transceiver and info on GET PWM on receiver
EZ b script manual
now on PWM value for transceiver i need to test the value on the POLOLU IR beacon beacon board
if you look at the circuit you can see the simple drive circuit that is needed
