Automatic Toilet Flusher

Cool I got it working!!!!

Yay now I am one step further to completing the automatic toilet flusher.

Thanks Pic_User

Great news Techbuilder,

Can you give us your impressions of the results?
Do you get the same range as the web site 15 cm (5.9”)? Reflected..
Does the “target” surface color / shininess make a difference?
Does ambient light clobber it?
How much range if you detach the IR Emitters, put extension wires on them, and point them at the sensor (beam break)? Like across a door way...

Well that's a good idea so
better yet I made a video

COOL!
What was the problem before?

Thanks, the reason it wasn't working was because pin 3 was not going to positive so for some reason the led kept being on but once I supplied the 5 volts + to pin 3
it worked.

Hi Techbuilder,
Do you mean pin 3, or pin one (1) to plus (+)?

Yeah actually your right

it was pin 1 that I supplied the + to because pin 3 goes to ground

Sorry my mistake
