Re: InfraRed ramblings

Thanks Mark!

I was considering laying a limit switch flat along the outer edge of the disk, and use a notch to catch the limit switch roller. But I'm liking the hall sensor even more:

Re: InfraRed ramblings

You can also use a hall effect IC and a small magnet. The hall effect ic's come in a 3 pin TO-92 package and are easy to interface to your micro.

For example

Re: InfraRed ramblings

There will be minimal light leakage. These will be on either side of a disk, as close as I can get them.

I plan on putting black heatshrink over the LEDs as close as I can to the rotating disk.

Re: InfraRed ramblings

if there is any ambient light leakage a ir sensor like SEN-19018 would be better than a photo diode, with the bonus of making
led modulation unnecessary too.

Companion Sheild

The entry level shield is labelled The Companion Shield. This is a PCB laid out in the pattern of a solderless breadboard. The holes are single sided, which means that components can easily be removed using solder mop braid, or a solder vacuum tool, if a mistake is made, or components need to be re-used.

The (PBP3) Companion Shield Manual iCan be downloaded from here
