Noise sensor<br />

Infrared - not as simple as it appears<br />
* Pro: cheap, widespread<br />
* Con: many protocols, confusing, line-of-sight, libraries hard to find<br />
<br />
Decode signal - IRremote library for Arduino<br />
<br />
Next Step - put it on a PCB:<br />
* board layout (using Eagle)<br />
* Generate Gerber files (de factor standard used by PCB industry) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_format<br />
* Send to DrkPCB, BatchPCB (3 boards, $5-$10, 2+ weeks)<br />
* Remember to add ways to program the micro-controller (FTDI Serial USB, storage)</div>Kenneth
