Hi Josh,

Was not aware of remotes that had multiple LEDs.  Considering the low=20
data-rate I don't expect issues, but perhaps there's something I'm not=20
thinking of here.
The emitters have a 90-deg angle, and the IR receivers also have a=20
specific receive angle (also 90 deg).  Splitting the emitters apart will=20
keep the receiver's angle lower, and is not really much more work to do.
But I'm also considering multiple emitters all together, but raised=20
higher to reduce the angle to the cars.

This blog has more info on the whole setup...

Cheers,
-Neil.
