Yes I used to do that but I burned it out w/ 5 volts (forgot to add a resistor)
-
@ConsumerInspector Yes, most of them are made exactly for this system. In fact I don know any other use for an IR pen.
-
perfect and clear, i like your camera by the way

Will an infrered pen off ebay work?

@sperryfam 2 AA may burn your bulb out quicker. I used some old PVC pipe and an old Expo marker top for mine. At most 1 AA should be used (same voltage as an N-sized battery I think).

looks cool now you just need to learn correct terms. lol. Post--- leads, also you might wanna solder a 10ohm res. so the LED last Longer. also some shrink tubing wouldnt hurt. good vid tho. 5*

HAHAHAHA! I realized later how ridiculous it sounded, but I was making the video for a group of teachers and wasn't sure if I should also enhance their vocabulary :-) As for the resister and tubing, great ideas. I'll give that a go around. Thanks for the tips.

It's for a virtual white board that utilizes the IR camera in A nintendo Wii Remote. Google "Johnny Lee Wiimote Whiteboard". Great stuff.

how do you power it? I use 2 AA but it doesnt give off enough IR light to reflect back to the wii mote. do you think it ir my IR led thats the problem?

I've found that just one N size battery (1.5 volts) does the job. 2 AA should be more than sufficient.
