1 The schematic is designed using TinyCAD

4 The stripboard was laid out using VeeCAD

7 It is loosly based on an Elektor circuit

10 The photodiode is an OSRAM BP104, the IR LED a generic IR LED from Jaycar
11 (ZD1947) with a spectral peak of 940nm. The opamp is an LM348 clone (ZL3348 from Jaycar).

13 The 6 pin interface is a TinyOS FTDI breakout

16 Mine is running at 5V but it works at 3.3V.

18 I needed to use the FTDI EEPROM tool to invert the TX & RX sense using FT_Prog from
19 http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm

21 The need to invert could be rectified by modifying the circuit, but modifying the
22 EEPROM was a lot easier than changing the circuit.
