Hi Techbuilder,
Nice job building all of that.
The layout and diode orientation is good.
Glad to see the little light blockers on the back side of the LEDs.
What type of IR diodes did you use?
It looks like the diagram on the webpage agrees with the data sheet.
Picture 3 looks like only the electrolytic capacitor is attached to pin 1 of the device.
Is there a hidden wire from device pin 1 to V+ or is it missing?
Also:
I don’t know why but, IR “Emitters” seem to have a different convention from the visible LEDs.
The shorter lead is the Anode (+) positive polarity. Not like normal LED.

Reason: Added IR anode info
Ohm it's not just a good idea... it's the LAW !
