Re: Using Allen-Bradley light sensors as beam detectors

yes, you can use those sensors and a retroreflector... if you play with the tuning knob you can use them as a beam break... maybe not what they were designed for, but heck, retroreflectors are easy to find and if you have a few left over from last year, you are some wire spices away from a prototype.
