InfraRed = gps ? - Chief Delphi

The one thing that no one ever list in scouting but is one of the most important factors is reliability. I don't care if the robot scores a hundred balls a match if I can't count on you being out there for the next three because it's a fragile as china. - Koko Ed [more]

Both emitters are sending out a 40KHz carrier frequency. The difference is that a "type-0" beacon has a 1ms envelope, while the "type-1" beacon has a 2ms envelope. The duration of the envelope is what determines the type of beacon.
