Summary
This chapter demonstrated several uses for IR, including common circuits and methods
used in robotics for object detection. The OPTAscope was triggered using an external
trigger connected to a BASIC Stamp I/O pin. This ensured the signal would be captured
at the proper time without relying on the receiver’s pin. The Autoscale feature was
introduced to automatically center the signal within the Plot Area. Additionally, the
chapter provided code and a visual demonstration of decoding handheld infrared remote
controls by demonstrating their waveforms.
