[TriEmbed] IR sensor vs trigger

[Jeff Highsmith]

Joe,

My thinking is to use the interrupt for the trigger, as that is simpler, and you may want to be able to use coded pulses ("who shot me?") in the future, which I think would be easier to do in the main loop. Since interrupts should be off while handling an interrupt, whatever you do in the handling needs to be quick and done before the next interrupt comes along. 

Others, feel free to correct me, as my enthusiasm sometimes surpasses my knowledge. 

Jeff :)
