Hi All,
This no doubt is definitely beyond me (at the moment) but I wanted to get some input.
Can a single infrared receiver determine simultaneous signals from 2 infrared sources?
Requirement
I want to design a circuit which not only detects a break in an infrared beam but also is able to determine the direction of the object breaking the beam.
Hence the need for 2 transmitters (left + right) so:
Left Broken + Right Unbroken = potential motion L to R set L2R latch
Left Broken + Right Broken + (L2R set?) = Definite L to R, do something, clear L2R
Left Unbroken + Right Broken = potential motion R to L set R2L latch
Left Broken + Right Broken + (R2L set?) = Definite R to L, do something, clear R2L
Left Unbroken + Right Unbroken = All bets are off, clear all latches.
What do you think?
