IN BRIEF:
1. Gave a talk to the QRA radio club on PIC Microcontrollers
2. Wired up a MING xmtr & rcvr & got it working

3. Stripped apart som RC cars & trucks and set up an
RC system with a small relay attached to rcvr
4. Writing a PGM to read the infrared sigs from a handheld REMOTE.
Interesting article in SERVO mag outlines methodollogies.
PWM seems to be the most popular I think zero pulses are about 400 usecs
wide & ONE pulses are about 1200 usecs wide. There are about 34 pulses
& about 12 of them unique and determine the individual code
5. I'm in the process of firing up some of my other old laptops
The hell with batteries - they are expensive . I plan to solder conect
wires to the contact points where batteries would connect. They operate on
a whole range of voltages.
