    I still could not get things to work, so I purchased the seperate emmiter/collector and tried again. Things worked good that time, so I am guessing that I had a bad part. Thanks for the input!!!

    Infrared air hockey game scorer help needed.

    ok - I reversed the emitter/collector and it appears to be working. Weird that the existing side had a clear clear and I used the tinted one (as the package reflected).

    Infrared air hockey game scorer help needed.

    I have acquired an air hockey table that is missing a componant that triggers when a score is made. One side is complete and I believe it to be designed by a small inferred sensor on each of two sides, that triggers a score when the puck breaks the beam. The exisisting sensors on that side are...
