Re: "Overdrive like" IR receiver wanted for Arduino project

The Vishay sensors work great and have nicely replaced the PNA4602M that I used to use. I've been using the Sony IR Remote Control System (SIRCS) to drive mini sumo robots with my students for the last ten years or so. It's very simple, robust... reliable.

I tend to use PIC microcontrollers to do it, rather than an Arduino (they weren't very popular a decade ago...) but the choice of microcontroller is really irrelevant. I'm sure you'll find lots in the Arduino libraries, but even if you don't it isn't hard to program... just google SIRCS, and buy a $2.99 surplus multi-brand remote, set it to the Sony protocol (or whichever one you choose to use) and you're off to the races.

Have fun,

Jason

P.S. If you get stuck, drop me a message... I can't promise a quick reply as I have some holiday time coming up, but I'll help when and if I can.
