Ok I am new to this stuff.
I had ordered some Ir stuff from ebay, both red and white diodes, I got them to work, but not past a distance of 5".
I am using them for a timing system for a slot car race timer.
I have 3mm red and 5mm white (clear) running on a 5v cell phone charges with 30 amp resistors. I just cant get the distance I need between them, I did get a wide viewing angle for the white one but not sure about the red ones (wish I new the terms for the names of them!!)
Is there something I should look that tells me the distance expected from them? Or a link to some on ebay or some other seller?
Hey Thank for all the help with this,
Troy
