Hi,
I found alot of threads on this subject, but none really solid enough to tackle.
Anyway, so I got my hands on a couple of Laser pointers and would like to know what type of receiver you guys would suggest. Perhaps a circuit too. I have no idea at what frequency they work so I don't think a modulated receiver will work.
Will a typical IR receiver pick up the red laser beam? The beam is focus-able and claimed to reach 600m. I need a range of about 40m, easy enough...
Any ideas on building a circuit?
Thanks and merry Xmas!
