Haven't had a chance to check back in a while. That looks really nice!

I like the frugal approach to three degrees of camera position adjustment freedom. It's the typical case of conflicting requirements. You want to be able to easily adjust the position of the camera before testing starts, but you also don't want the camera to move after testing starts.

Hello Niglyn et al: It's a few revisions behind on the 3D enclosures you provided, but here is a picture of another one of your test fixtures out in the world.

I was going to try and suggest the same kind of thing. There are currently 36 pages in this thread. They contain a lot of excellent historical content, but it's a lot to sift through when coming at this from scratch. This is such a wonderful project, and there is a lot to grasp.

Great idea with the DPDT switch!

Hi Niglyn: I got things up and running yesterday! Once again, let me say you have put together an awesome project. I'll send better pictures once I get around to bolting everything down, but here is the current state: I'm going to build up a second set of emitter/detector boxes to have both...

Oh, yeah, I remember seeing that in the write up. It sounds like a nice option. Perhaps this has been discussed already, but since I haven't read through all of the posts on this forum, nor all of the excellent documentation you provide (I just wanted to start connecting things up as soon as I...
