| Jun 23, 2015 at 21:28 | comment | added | user3537697 | Well where I'm stuck is getting the detector circuit to activate the relay and keep the relay activated. Because right now as soon as the laser is removed, the detector will stop exciting the relay. I'm thinking maybe I need some sort of soft on/off switch that gets switched by the detector, allowing the detector to only be on for a few ms at a time.. | |
