Hi, been a while... do any of you remember me?
Anyway, I was looking at **broken link removed**... I know it's not complicated, but that's sorta what I want to do. I would need to modify it a bit. For one, I need it to be held high while the beam is undisturbed, and pull "Vout" to ground when interupted, instead. I also need to sextuple the circuit... I need six emitters, and 6 detectors, and I need to design it in such a way, to where if ONE on the six beams is interupted, it will pull ONE terminal to ground. Do I need to use OR gates for this? It's basically like a security system. If any one of the six beams is interupted, it pulls low, and triggers an alarm. 'Cept most security systems probably go high, but that's not the point.
Can anyone give me a circuit for this, or point me in the right direction to make one myself? Thanks.

P.S. Did you miss me? 8)
