Today we worked on the IRcommunication.
We tried to use the same IR library as we used in a previous project,but this didn't seem ideal for this kind of application.
the sent signal was converted into a code wich didn't make a lot of sense,it was good for remote control of a few function but not for actual communication.
Then we tried the example from this website: 
We modified some minor details so we could just type in a message in the serial monitor of arduino to send.
This way we made a kind of chat system between 2arduino's.
After messing around a bit with this new toy we quickly found out that when no messages were send we would pick up noise, mostly the character ÿ.
This didn't interfere with the message itself but could form a problem when we are sending several commands.
Therefor is our next challenge to make some kind of start/stop-byte/char to detect the start and end of the message.
