Thanks guys,
Sorry for not responding lately, My GF is home for a week, but thats for the replies.
I've updated my circuit..basically here my plan...put a pot on the base of the transistor, see how much power i can deliver to my LED before it blows...then take a bit off..HAHA i have 15 so. Goood ol T&E.
Will this circuit work, i beleive i have the transistor connected right? and also if i hook up more than one IR LED like botnuk suggested, will i be able to get more range do you think?
suggestions? i didin't figure out any R values yet but thats minor.
Thanks
