Howdy,
I'm trying to get this electrobalance to work (Attached schematic image #1) and right now testing out the ITR9608-F opto-interruptor portion of it to figure out why I'm not reading anything. Image #2 is the schematic of the original design I was using but I was just reading a static 47-48uA regardless if I tried to block the light beam so I was assuming it was just reading the current from VCC (5V) to ground through the resistor. Image 3 was just me testing it in general and I am not getting any current output what so ever from this.
Any suggestions would be great. Also the op-amp I'm using is LM358P but haven't gotten a chance to test that due to the interruptor.
