That is why I recomment using EK's box as interface between quadrature signals generated by encoders and computer running Mel's software.

Hi Bojan,
i will look at the site and links again.
I was trying to figure out how the sensors in mice worked as I could then use Ek's box with sensors from the Mice rather than getting new sensors.
else will try the sensors you posted from jaycar.
just wanted the detector pinout which I later found was very simple, on three terminal detectors, middle pin is +5v, the two pins on either side are the channel outputs and are connected to ground by 10k resistors.
i connected a scope to the detector and was able to see the level move up with external light, but was'nt able to get the mouse LED to work adequately. interrupting the beam did cause some spikes but very low level spikes.
