IR Beacon-Detector

Posted by David on Thursday, October 22, 2009
Our IR beacon-detector parts came in today. XD. We started by writing the code for the emitter. Then we hooked up the oscilloscope to the output pin to calibrate the frequency (mostly trial and error). After we got the timing right we connected the emitter circuit to the pic and the detector to the oscilloscope on a different channel to see the relation between output and input IT WORKED FIRST TIME! We are both still in shock. Today was a good day.
