Great, thanks for letting me know!

I also did a video about it on Friday: http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js+Infrared

Thanks for the video, i will check it out later :)

My next issue is the limited range of the IR led. I'm getting approx 50cm range with the on-board IR led any way of boosting this?
I can get about 2m with an external IR led (taken from a tv remote) which is better but I need it closer to 4m. I was going to try a transistor unless you have any better suggestions?

Hi Matt,

I'm also having trouble with the limited range of the IR led. But the 2 meters you achieved with an external IR led are enough for me. Can you give some more detail of what you've done. You just took the IR led from a remote and inserted directly? On which pins? How do you call it? Just Puck.IR()?

Thanks
