Hey all, very very new here but i really would appreciate any help you could give me on my very early staged design idea that i would like to use for my A level project. Its going to be tricky but i want to stand out and have fun with a more complex project!
Basically, i would like to create an identification system for the military, just a prototype, using lasers. The idea for my product is that you have a device that once you have shine a laser onto an object that has some kind of Photo transistor device on it so that once the laser has been shun onto it, i will know what type of military device it is e.g a tank, or an SUV. I was just wandering if anyone had any experience with detecting lasers from a range of about 50m? I would detect the signal with a completly seperate PIC chip which would communicate with a wireless module that will transmit a serial code back to the master PIC system that will identify what the vehicle is dependent on the unique serial code sent back.
does anyone have any recommendations of simple components that would detect a laser beam shone on it?
Any concepts or little bits and pieces that could possibly make this very brief concept into a reality would be very appreciated. Thanks!
