infra red pulsating led

[Nimz]

i'm quite inexperienced with picaxe, however, i want to use a pulsating led on a project 08m board. this is so tht i can make a proximity sensor. i will have two 08m boards, and on one the pulating led emitter and the other the receiver. the emitter will be on a timer, and so when the time has elapsed, the led will pulse and the receiver (on the separate board) will then recieve the signal. i will hook the receiver up to led outputs so that i can see if it works.

can somebody tell me how to connect the led and the program to pulsate it?
thanks

What is the receiver you are using, Nimz?

i used the reciever which came with the infrared led. it is direct from reved (tech supplies)

This is the standard 38kHz receiver? Three pins?

If so, connect as per the interfacing circuits examples in manual 3. Ditto for the transmitter.

As for code, try the infraout command. Manual 2.

Or set PWMout to 38kHz. See the PWM wizard in the programming software, and instructions also in manual 2.
