Hello,
I'm planning to get some infrared sensors to detect colors and fire.
I want to confirm first if this is how infrared color detection works: you have an infrared emitter and infrared detector. Different colors absorb different amount of infrared so you will get specific detection values?
Also I'm not sure exactly what to get. Sparkfun sells emitters and detectors at specific wavelengths, this pair at 950nm, http://www.sparkfun.com/products/241
How would this fair?
Also I've read about people using infrared sharp range sensors. I've read about people using Infrared sharp range sensors for fire and color detection, how does that work?
