All you need for a sensor is a IR led on one side and a IR photo transistor on the other side. Now, I've never actually built one of these, but I'm going to. Someone is paying me to build a lie detector. The correct range is approx. 4000 to 7000 A I think. ____________________________________________________________________________ You can flame or laud me at: wetter@tybalt.caltech.edu or wetter@csvax.caltech.edu or pwetter@caltech.bitnet Caution: All my postings are 100% accurate from my point of view.
