:slight_smile: Hi!

Have any of you worked with Radio Shack Robotics Stater Kits, and KITS 1 AND 2?

i'm currently working with the Catapult_IR Remote Control.

I'm new to Remote control stuff, that is working with them.

I have seen Remote Control sensors such as the one's use on TV.
The IR detector that came with Kit 2 look more like a motion control sensor than IR detector.
Is it possible that they both work the same?
I don't see what I would call an IR receiver on the kit 2.

Thank you

Frank G.

Is it the infrared sensor with Fresnel Len for human activity from this kit?

If so - it's a PIR, so google for "arduino pir motion sensor" to get examples

arduino_x:
If so, it is IR, but they call that Passive IR, where the sensor establishes its own IR field and waits for it to get disturbed.

Passive IR sensors don't establish anything, they detect long wavelength IR emissions associated with body heat.
These wavelengths are much longer than the near-IR used by remote systems.
