EDIT: This protocol will be _real_ fun to decipher. If you're interested, take a look at the real IR experts scratching their heads over it in this thread.
Oh, my! I almost have a headache after reading through the first page. It does have it's share of intrigue though.

PM me if you want to collaborate on something like this!

They have been able to get the n900 to scan a human brain for cryin out loud, i don't see how this can't be possible.
Copernicus says that it should be difficult to catch the timings, and probably he is right, the N900 camera captures video up to 30fps.

On the other hand though, fcam allows "shutter" speeds up to 1/1000s so if the IR led is powerful enough to be visible at such shutter speeds there could be hope.

So the question is where is the bottleneck? Does the 30fps limit come from the sensor, the video encoding by the cpu or storage?

If we could reduce the videostream to 1 pixel, and put the ir led near enough to fill the FOV, could we capture video at 1000fps?

Maybe we should dig in the fcam driver. The unfortunate thing is that I don't have very much free time, and I got one or two started projects I'd like to finish...
