Well the idea of the project is for a local paintball site. They are planning a MILSIM event in august and they wanted somthing to simulate a laser designator for their "airstrikes". So the idea was to use the laser as they can see where theyre pointing the thing and have a reciever at the other end which the laser must hit directly.
I decided against IR Tx as you dont get a idea of where your pointing the thing and its more of a general pasting of an area than a laser which will give you a smaller target.
Ive started playing with IR Tx and Rx to get started but im having troubles with the reciever, the transmit works and ive viewed this on an ossciloscope but i dont get alot out of the Rx. In the example above there is no amplification, is this needed before the chip?
