Re: IR Sensors
Two things.

1. I believe the output from the IR board is simply a digital signal, not a PWM output (if you're unsure of the difference let me know, I'd be happy to explain!).

2. I don't think you'd be violating any rules by joining the digital inputs from two (or more) IR receivers. Just keep in mind that your digital pin would be exerted when either of the two boards receives the signal. This essentially doubles your chances for signal interference. Also keep in mind that you can use an analog input for a digital signal, just not the other way around.
