RE: IR emitters for Ocelot

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Not yet Tim, but I shall do tomorrow...

My problem is I am a more than a little bit backwards when it comes to this
level of electronics knowledge (i.e. matching alternative components..) -
If
I look at the datasheet for these devices I start to get a glazed
expression! - I'm happy enough to solder bits together when someone tells
me
exactly what bits to get, and which bit to solder to which other bit (and
which end of the bits as well if it matters!), but if I have to start
trying
to replace the specified bits with suitable alternatives, well.... I'll end
up buying a 16-segment LED VU meter or some such twaddle instead of 16 IR
LEDs!!!

But at 39p each or whatever, what the hell!! - I'll give it a go!

Cheers.

Paul G.
