In this illustration we will going to wire the light interrupter. A photo interrupter is transmission type photo sensor that integrates optical receiving and transmitting elements in a single package please see the diagram below. Since the method involves light blocking commonly named photo interrupter. A long life infrared photo diodes is applied for output while a single photo transistor and photo IC are integrated on the other side for light detection.
Required Components
- UNO / MEGA / NANO / PRO / DUE / ESP8266 / AVR
- Light Blocking Sensor / Photo Interrupter Sensor
- 5mm / 3mm LED
- 220 Ohms Resistor
- Solder Less Bread Board
- Jumper Wires / DuPont Wires
