I need to make up some switches and I think that using IR's will be the best solution to my problem.
The manuals don't seem to cover these switches, but I did find an interesting circuit at www.trainelectronics.com/artcles/PulsedIR/index.htm.
I will be using the switch to stop a 15cm wide conveyor belt. The Tx will be on one side and the Rx on the other.
Is there a simpler hardware solution, I need 3 switches?
The switches will be about 60cm from the control box, is it neccesary to have all of the components (resistors, capacitors) at the sensors, or can I have them mounted in the control box?
