Anyone out there successfully used the IR libraries with arduino? Calculon is trying to use it with some bots, but not in the way the libraries are written. Calculon is trying to get one duino to talk to another using a byte, the way that a Picaxe can.
All the code and tutorials he has googled seem to be for emulating or talking to a remote control and figuring out the protocol of that remote.
But Calculon doesn't have any remote controls, he just has two lonely arduinos looking to make a connection. Arduino 1 needs to say "A" and arduino 2 needs to hear "A". He doesn't care what protocol it is, he just wants to make a vocabulary of 6 or 8 "byte words".
Anyone know how to do this?
