Had a 3rd year student in here all morning.
He's working on a thingie to measure your pulse using infrared through the finger.
After a mere 3 and a bit hours, he's managed to get the infrared LED the right way round, which is a plus.
Sadly the phototransistor is in backwards & thus doesn't work.
Though naturally he hasn't figured that out yet.
Onwards & upwards, Rodders.Comment

The really frightening thought is that once we have the phototransistor the right way round, we have to go to things with more than 2 pins.
Like op-amps & such like.

It's going to be a long year.
