| Optical switches for spinner hack |

| TheManuel:
I'm trying to build an optical sensor like the one Ultimarc describes here: http://www.ultimarc.com/optipac4.html. However, I cannot find the specific optical switch he recommends. There seems to be no Fairchild retailers in my local area (SE Michigan). On the other hand, I did find this one: http://www.nteinc.com/specs/3100to3199/pdf/nte3100.pdf from NTE which I can buy from my local mom-&-pop electronics store. Does enyone know if this one would work? Thanks. By the way, how do I make a hot link to a website on a word without the url showing in the post? |

Don't know how much you've spent so far but you can buy an optics board from oscar for $7.50. http://www.oscarcontrols.com/cgi-bin/cart.pl?DT=1 It's at the bottom. If you haven't bought the parts or can return the ones you have this might be eaiser and cost you about the same. |

The board from Oscar costs $7.50 plus shipping unless he agrees to meet somewhere in SE Michigan (he's from around here). |

I may go with Oscar's after all. Maybe he'll agree my picking it up at his place and save me $6.00. |
