Hi Glen There isn't much application for things with this spacing. Remember, you will most likely be connecting this to a uP. You really don't need to space then in a straight line. You can stager them and reassemble the entire byte width afterwards. Another though would be to use one of the linear arrays, used in scanners. Most of these are about as wide as a paper tape. You could use a collimated source and drag the tape directly over the array. You'd need to do a little image processing but it shouldn't be too difficult. There are some mechanical options that might work as well. Like I said, use some imagination. Dwight preassembled optical sensor array holes, but maybe that is discrete sensors, is it easy to side with the correct You could two for photo lensed _________________________________________________________________ months FREE*.
