Subject: [alt-beam] Re: source for Piro electric sensors



Yes I do, I'll have to look it up though, and i'm pretty sure I lost it. If
you look at the Book Mobile Robots: Inspiration for impelmentation by Rodney
Brooks and this other robot lady, you'll find an index for all these great
companies, one of them makes Pyro sensors. (it's spelled with a 'y') They
aren't cheap though, and if your going to get one you really should get it
in a pre-assembled set up. I belive them to be very sensitive, vunrable, and
otherwise difficult to use as is. Also check places like Digi-key and
Jameco. It's common enough that someone should source them.
