Hello,
Back in 2000 I purchased a fair amount of Lynxmotion robots (hexapod, quad walker, four wheel cars, etc). I have not used this stuff for at least 8 to 10 years now, however, with the explosion of Arduino and RPi I would like to re-purpose these electronics if possible. To get started I have a few of the original IRPD (Ifra-Red Proximity Detectors with the 74HC04N chip) modules lieing around. Does anyone know of a site or source that explains how to interface with either RPi or Arduino? Sadly, I no longer have documents for these items.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Update: I found the documentation for the IRPD (IRPD-01 Ver 5.0). Looking at the schematic and associated programs for the BS1 and BS2(SX) I see I can bypass the voltage regulator and run this on 5VDC. However, if I’m reading the code correctly it would be a timing nightmare to incorporate with Arduino or RPi. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
