We have made things like it before, and I suspect the alignment of the LED and opto sensor won't be that critical as the beam angle of most LED's is quite large. We will have circuits and details somewhere if you are interested.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Will Wade Sent: 30 May 2014 12:28 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: SCATIR Has anyone made or adapted a SCATIR switch? I'm thinking of of taking a regular SCATIR sensor and house it in rubber tubing instead of the Gooseneck type tubing it comes with but wondering if I'm going to break anything! My guess is I will as the phototransistor needs to be in just the right location for the axis of the IR source.. which could be tricky to get right. Before I get out my tools I thought it would be wise to ask about!
