First, however, I need some advise please.
Other half bought one of Morrison's (UK supermarket) Halloween Petrifying Prisoner toys at half price just after Halloween.
Unfortunately someone had removed/half inched the small front facing activation sensor, with just two bare wires left where it should be.
Does anyone have any idea what that sensor is and can I get something similar.
The 'toy' works via the 'Test Me' button, or if I short the bare wires.
I will be in credit if I can get it to work via a sensor.
Power is by means of three AA batteries, but haven't checked if connected in //le or series.
I have tried three photodiodes:
Two with dark 'lenses', one being IR Filtered but they only work when a bright light is aimed at them, and the third one has a clear lens that works when light is interrupted.
It appears to need a proximity/movement sensor of some sort.
Ready to file this in the Lost Cause folder and just let her indoors operate it manually, BUT I will be in SHMBO good books if I can get it to work properly
Geoff - A week wasted doing very little.
