That web page said "approximately 15cm". I had to use an on-line calculator because I am an old phart, and it said almost 6 inches (5.9").

Techbuilder,

How about:
You order the Sharp IS471FE and start the program right away, while you are waiting.

You can substitute a switch.

When the IS471FE gets there you can just add it.

This is actually a good way to build and test as you go.

Here's the data sheet, I think the people that design the circuit got the pins wrong

I don't know maybe you can help me out

Can not see very well from your pictures, but it looks like the cap is connected to the IR and can not tell where the LED is connected.

Make sure every thing is like it is on the last page of the data sheet.
