I have an Optismart and is very pleased with. Especially the LED sensor is very nicely produced and I am wondering where I could get hold of more of them for another project?
The other thing I was wondering is if someone could explain the four wires and what they do from detecting light in the photo transistor? Green is GND and red +3V I have read in another post, but what with brown and black?

Exactly the reference I have looked at. I suppose black is the outgoing pulse then? And brown nothing...

Can they be bought separately or could anyone share who is supplying them to CC?

I cut the four wires and if green and brown are connected the lamp on the back indicates pulses being picked up. Thought that black and red then would be an ordinary analog 2 leader pulse input but it does not seem so. Anyone that can contribute with more enlightning thoughts? :roll:
