Re: Range on the IR board?

I was working with the group building the field elements last saturday but can remember when the electrical group was testing the remote. Our shop is all flourescent lights and is about 80 feet long. The receiver was about 15 feet from the far end of the room and the remote worked fine from the other side of the room. Then they went down an adjacent hallway, about 12 feet more, worked fine. Then they opened the outside door and went about another 30 feet into the parking lot, worked fine. Then they placed a cloudy piece of 1/4" plexi in front of the remote, worked fine. They were easily over 100 feet from the IR Board, sending the signal through two standard doorways, a piece of cloudy 1/4 plexi and did not have any problems. I remember hearing a lot of cheering. No, I do not know exactly what kind of remote it was other than it was a standard TV remote. Just find one that works well and make sure it has good batteries.
