• Pucks v2 IR range

  in Puck.js, Pixl.js and MDBT42 • 2 months, 2 weeks

  

  Hi Gordon, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, I used Puck.IR(data) without extra arguments. The battery I did test beforehand because the puck sat in a drawer, still in its packaging, for years and thus despite being brand new I did wonder if it was operational.
  I think your last guess it's the right one: I tried with my TV set and with that it works at over a meter distance. It's a shame the light bulbs I have around the house have such poor IR sensors, I had no idea that was a thing.
  Thanks again for your help!

  Hi, it seems that my Puckjs (V2.24) can't send an IR signal to more than ~50cm (case on) or ~80cm (case off), with "optimal" conditions (direct line of sight from IR emitter to IR receiver of led bulb).
  This doesn't seem to match the info in the docs (1.5m) or other sites (4.5m) so I wonder if there is something I'm not aware off.
  Thanks!
