Hi all, great forum here!
I want to replace a simple momentary switch (low DC voltage, no real load) with a unit that will trip each time the beam is broken. The unit needs to react quickly (<1ms) to brief breaks in the beam.
So...
I'm guessing the right phototransistor could fill in the blank nicely, but that's just a guess What do I need to get this running?

So...
- Quick reaction time
- Work with a basic laser pointer
- Trip when beam is broken
