Yea, I never did get around to the schematic. Like 99% of the rest of the internet, dead ends, dead links, dead projects...
But, I think I did explain the project relatively well, at least to the person who can understand that sort of thing just by reading words.

Tried this and like you see in the video it works. BUT I found it to be very sensitive to light. What works in near dark won't work so well in bright light. Never tried it in sunlight!
I only tried it inside, under inc. light and flour. lights, in fact directly under a couple of those cheap double-15 watt tubes. Worked well enough for me. And if I remember right, I had to use IR LEDs. The cheap red LEDs I had barely worked at all unless it was completely dark. Probably has something to do with how clear the lens is in the first place.
