I would need the reciever on the bot, and the PPC can reach 30feet, if I need more I can build a larger sensor thingy *I'm not in the state for technical words, 8 hours of sleep in 2 days* But the software for the PPC would have to be programmed, and would it even connect to the robovation computer?
Just a...thought that might be cool to explore. Thanks for any help

Yes, this can be done. Have a look at the 2004 IR receiver code to see how the receiver side can be implemented, and the beacon code for the transmitter side. It wasn't just by chance that I named the two different
beacon waveforms "0" and "1" <grin>. The code and documentation is kept here:
