** Yes, | ** Yes, using the door/lights data for reset would be good if we get large amounts of drift - but I don't plan to just yet | ||
** We could also use some kind of probabilistic model with the 'door-open' and 'bell' data | |||
These sensors appear to be in working order. They'd should be safe to use below child-head height. They were manufactured in 1996 and use a Class II laser rated at 3mW with a wavelength of 655-670nm ([[Media:Banner-q45bb6ll.pdf|datasheet]]). | These sensors appear to be in working order.
