Bugger it the Collier Shotguns me there, halfway through that post and blam. You could'nt have got in there quicker had someone said "I'm think of getting a Vi.......
I have an idea

My first thought was a wheel 
What is the idea behind the IR, though? Would it work by sensing your fingers move or simething? I wouldn't have thought it to be sensitive enough, ir refresh fast enough to pick it up. I could, of course, be wrong!

I work as a fault responce and install engineer, if theres nowt to fix or no new installs you could say I have a fair amount of free time.Originally posted by Bolter

Bugger, if its already been done then and its illegal, ahh well, i better go back to the drawing board again.
i got plenty of ideas, you want them, then you gotta steal my brain!!

IR is light in the invisible side of the EM spectrum, and is alot less harmful than UV. UV can penitrate skin, hence sun cream and all this skin cancer awarness! IR doesn't have enough energy to pass through tissue as thick as your finger, plus its very harmless in small amounts (< 1 candlea)
(god sake, don't stare at an IR lamp for a least 10 seconds thinking it won'y hurt you! it'll burn and shrink your conreas(what you need to focus) and destory your retina (what tells you brain what your seeing))
considering that light travels 300000000m per second(bloody fast!!) and its got, what, only 4-5cm to travel i would think that it definately wounld refresh fast enough!
the ideas WAS that each time you broke the beam, it triggered.
kinda like putting your hand in front of a tv remote and trying to change channel. It won't. add a circuit, so that you can't put your finger over the 'eye', and let it auto-fire and, bobs your uncle.
plus i was thinking on using an LAM system so that if you accientally break the beam it won't fire.
anyway thats all you babble you need i think.
Right, if you gotta move your fingers to brake the beam, how's it going to be faster than a half mil trigger pull or whatever, as you have to move your fingers for at least the width of each finger to brake and reset the bean. Being as fingers are more than half a mm thick, this is further to travel, it's going to be slower???
Confused
, although I'm the first to admit I can barely gass up a marker, so if someone out there can explain this to an idiot like me I'd be impressed, but likely still 
I think hes talking about using an optical wheel system so you roll your finger over it to break the beam.
