Now we do our conversions just like above. 121.779 / 5280 = .023 miles .94 / 60 / 60 = .000261 hours .023 / .000261 = 88.12 mph. So there you have it! How to calculate how fast you throw a baseball without a radar gun and only a stop watch.
IR Receiver and Remote. An IR receiver can detect bursts of infrared light sent by a common remote controller (like for a television), and then output a pattern of high/low signals to a Propeller I/O pin. This quick tutorial will first show you how to wire up the infrared receiver.
Most television remote control units work by means of infrared radiation rather than visible light. That's why you can't see the beam go on when you change channels. Because infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light, it behaves differently when it encounters objects that get in its way.
