| This project has taught me a lot about IR technology. For one, I've learned that working with IR was more complex than I anticipated. There's a lot of things that needs to be accounted for when choosing the proper IR component for your project, such as operating range, operating frequency, whether the IR sensor is sensitive to continuous rays or pulses, how the sensor handles noise etc. | This project has taught me a lot about IR technology.
