Re: Photosensor Search Help

Did you look for the drawers of parts at the back of the Radio Shack store.
Instead of taking up massive amounts of pegboard space for things that sell
rarely, they have put them in cabinets which are actually easier to find
things in.

You have to face it, very few people know what to do with the small parts
and Radio Shack would be out of business if they tried to make that the main
part of the store.

Digi-Key is a mail order place sells in small quantities.
