Re: Infrared Task
Do you think it would be fine to constantly keep an IR Led on, and then begin reading it at a certain point to cause the next action?

Re: Infrared Task
No. The rule is that an electric component can only be on for 10 seconds.SluffAndRuff wrote:Do you think it would be fine to constantly keep an IR Led on, and then begin reading it at a certain point to cause the next action?

Re: Infrared Task
Actually an electric component can only be USED (in the task sequence) for 10 seconds, but the ES that judges my state has had no problem with having LEDs on and removing a barrier between it and the photocell. From this there shouldn't be a problem with IR either, should there?PM2017 wrote:No. The rule is that an electric component can only be on for 10 seconds.SluffAndRuff wrote:Do you think it would be fine to constantly keep an IR Led on, and then begin reading it at a certain point to cause the next action?

Re: Infrared Task
Ohhhh, right, I remember someone discussing this at the start of the season. It should be good, but I'd carry a copy of the rules with you on comp day, in case the ES says anything...SluffAndRuff wrote:Actually an electric component can only be USED (in the task sequence) for 10 seconds, but the ES that judges my state has had no problem with having LEDs on and removing a barrier between it and the photocell.

On a slightly unrelated note, does that mean that I could have a UV light on for the duration of the run, and block that as an action, without penalty?

I wouldn't have considering that it said "beam" but that may have been allowedPM2017 wrote:I know it's late now (lol), but you guys think we could have used fiber optics for this?
