HiTechnic Infrared Electronic Ball

Product information "HiTechnic Infrared Electronic Ball"

The all new HiTechnic Infrared Electronic Ball (IRB1005), with four operating modes, is perfect for playing robot soccer or for as an infrared beacon for your robot to find. The well balanced ball contains 20 infrared LEDs giving full signal coverage.

The IRB1005 can also be switched to operate in un-modulated (no pulse) mode, or trapezoidal mode as used with Robocup Jr competitions, or one of two HiTechnic modes, 1200Hz and 600Hz, provide added flexibility and detection ranges up to 5 meters or more (15+ feet). The pulse modulated IR signals make the HiTechnic Infrared Electronic Ball easier to detect in difficult background lighting conditions. The HiTechnic pulsed modes increase usable range and battery life.

A perfect companion for the HiTechnic IRSeeker Sensor with its selectable modes tuned to the IRBall signals. The IRB1005 is 75mm (~ 3 inches) in diameter and requires 4 AAA batteries (not included).

Accessory Items

NXT IRSeeker V2
The NXT IRSeeker V2 (Version 2) is a multi-element infrared detector that detects infrared signals from sources such as the HiTechnic IRBall soccer ball, infrared remote controls and sunlight. It is perfect for robot soccer competitions. The IRSeeker V2 operates in 2 selectable modes: Modulated (AC) ModeThe sensor will detect modulated IR signals such as those from the HiTechnic IRBall or some IR remote controls. In Modulated mode the sensor will filter out most other IR signals to decrease interference from lights and sunshine for example. The sensor is tuned to square wave signals at 1200Hz. Un-modulated (DC) ModeThe sensor will detect un-modulated IR signals such as older style IRBalls or sunlight.
