Re: IR recievers!?!?!

There is nothing to build for the IR receivers. They are a little black three pin component a little bigger than an LED. Pin 1 goes to a digital input, Pin 2 is ground and pin 3 goes to +5v. You could solder it to a PWM cable and plug it into a digital in. This is the easy part.

Writing your own code to use this signal is the tough part

Re: IR recievers!?!?!

A word description is good, but are there schematic or wiring diagrams posted anywhere? There was a schematic and a physical layout for the beacon, and I'm looking for something similar for the receiver units.

Re: IR recievers!?!?!

Just look up the datasheet for the sensor. I beleive there is a link on http://kevin.org/frc/faq.html The pins will be labelled there. The manufacturer actually recommends using a capacitor for extra filtering (see their schematic). I think the capacitors in the kit are the right ones.
