So I have a robot that is being controlled by IR. Is there any reason why I can't use multiple (in this case 4 total) IR detectors on the same decoder input? Would everything still work if I were to just wire them in parallel?
I want to be able to realize a similar amount of controllable range whether the robot is pointed directly away from me or some other orientation.
If you mount your sensor on the top of your robot(facing the sky), and then suspend a ball of aluminum foil directly above it, you only need one sensor, and you will still achieve 360 degrees of operation.
