Re: We Need an IR Sensor!
IFI is out of sensors. If you reversed + and - You might just have the 5V regulator blown and you can replace that as some other teams have done. I ordered the tinyIR 2 kit but Bob Grieb says the code was modified to work better in the FIRST version. They are similar so I have a schematic of both and having worked component level for many years, there's a good chance the regulator acted like a fuse and blew before anything else could get damaged.

Good luck
