Re: Building an IR transmitter?*
hooking it up to a joystick, while workable, would be very jerky and hard to control, seeing as it would only have one speed and would only receive a signal every 1/10th of a second.

I know that my team was looking into making our own IR transmitter, we rigged something up today using a AVR (i believe) along with a little code, and it worked great
