Re: IR Sensors

What do you want to measure or detect with your sensors? Why did you choose to look into IR sensors?

Re: IR Sensors

we use sharp ir sensors not sure what model# but you have to mount them to to something non conductive because they are grounded through the casing.

Re: IR Sensors

what 1706 did last year:

We drilled a hole in a our shaft, and put an ir led shining through at one end, and an ir camera at the other. as the shaft spins, the camera detects the light twice a rotation. that is how we measured rpm last year for our shooter. this year I have no idea, for I am the vision programmer (which coincidentally I use IR XD).
