Hi,

I searched a lot before posting here. The more I search the less I know what to do....

I dont know which leds to buy (the stores over here dont sell it with any spec)
I dont know which resistors to buy.
I dont know which type of battery (and how many) to use (6V or AA?)
I dont know where that resistor goes
How to make the structure sturdy
How to clip and unclip of my headphone.

Lots of Q's, no knowledge...

Any tutorial made for dummies here? Or any drawn squeme?

Thanks a lot in advance!

By the way, in Brazil I dont have radioshack...

2 more questions:

3mm IR leds (has a purple dome) will do fine? could not find the 5mm one...

if I NOT remove ir filter, and use the floppy disk surface in front of the lens, will it work? Or ir filter removing is a MUST?

thanks

If you don't use the LED's in the video then just sand them down and then it doesn't matter what you buy, just any IR LED will do and use this to deteremine your wiring and resistor size.

Once you determine the LED's you have and the voltage you wish to use if still unsure let us know and we'll get you sorted out.
