Idea: Self adjusting IR detector

Hi all,

For some time I've been playing with IR sensors, trying to get some "eyes" for my little bot here:  http://letsmakerobots.com/node/19894

It is based on the IR Compond Eye design from Oddbot only smaller because I want to use two of them on the bot to get a very approximative distance measurement. 

Here is a version much alike Oddbot's but with only one phototransistor and 4 IR leds, and a 10K resistor instead of 4K7 to get a little better sensitivity from the transistor :

A few things have happened this last month. I meet Xiao Yue (Little Moon) about a month before I went to Australia. She can't speak much English and my Chinese is still very bad but she seems to like me anyway.

This was taken on her birthday. There was a bit of a food fight with the cake so we ended up with cream on our faces.

OddBot, Claudia, DAGU... they just rock...

Jeez, i ordered from DAGU 20 mini servos one week ago... and i already received them! That's even faster than most of the sellers in my own country!

So thanks to them, and thanks to OddBot who took the time to think about my special needs and perfectly fulfilled them, saving me a lot of time (and money!)
