Hi all
I will apologise now as I have very little electronics experience and have what for so will seam like a very simple question. I need a sensor system which I can run off small batteries AAA or AA’S, it has to be able to detect an object travelling at high speed (200 – 400 FPS) then trigger a switch for a second or less and the turn the switch off again ready for the next object.
I was wondering if I could use a beam set up, what I mean is when the object passes through the beam it is detected and the circuit is closed thus making the motor turn on, I don’t know how to time it or how to turn it off, or indeed any of the above!! lol
As I am sure you have all worked out by now I don’t really have a clue about electronics and would need some very kind person to let me know if what I want to do is possible and how I go about making it, a circuit diagram with components list and a “stupid blokes guide to putting together” would be fantastic.
I know it’s a lot to ask but I thought id ask and see what comes back, I have and am still looking over this and many other forums for diagrams already provided so again apologies if this is out there but haven’t found it yet.
Cheers
