    Hello Todd,

    thanks

    We obtained very good relults simply with two photodiodes, and two phototransistors.

    This way you make a pair of sensors that·don't need a constant light intensity.
    The sensors separation·must be smaller than the line wide.
    If you need more info, i.e. schematics, I could send an attachment to YOU EXCLUSIVELY.

    En CASTELLANO:
    Dije que obtuvimos buenos resultados simplemente con dos fotodiodos y dos fototransistores, formando un par de sensores que no necesitan luz externa. Deben estar separados por una distancia menor al ancho de la cinta. Si quieren más información en castellano pueden pedirla a la lista RoboticaMardelPlata en eGroups.

    Hello stampers,

    I did what Victor said.
    I upload the schematics on the eGroups page:

    ··· http://www.egroups.com/group/basicstamps

    This references are for the schematics:

    D1;D2 photodiodes (infrared)
    T1;T2 phototransistors

    You have to adjust the circuit with the potentiometer Pot, to obtain a zero in Black and a one in White.
    If the Pot is out of range you could change its value. The pot value depends on the parameters of your semiconductors.
    The printed circuit board (P.B.) must be at about 1 cm from the floor (depending on the size of your semiconductors).
    We used recicled semiconductors from PC floppy disk drives and PC mouses.
