Ps3 eye

[SEE]

To test without removing the IR lens, just tape a section of floppy disk over the lens and use a typical TV/video remote control to generate the IR source. Reduce the exposure and see if you can get a dot without stray interference. It will pulse but thats what it should do from a remote control.

A lot of peeps are using the non-moddable PS3 eye's perfectly OK with IR LED's.

That's exactly what I was planning to do! Good to hear it should work okay, now I can compare the two without modifying the Eye.

Also I'm hoping at some point maybe more opensource software similar to the PS Move will come to the PC, and since Move is based on regular LEDs, I would rather leave the Eye as is, with the IR filter intact.

Thanks again for all the help, I'm linking over the other thread, since jayrc started two, and this one's more active:
