Can you build a simple ladar detector using a standard 3pin IR receiver with
built in preamp of the type used in a lot of home audio/video appliances? Or
does it have to be a super sensitive one?
If so, then some part numbers would be appreciated.
And a schematic if one exists.
Thankyou in advance.

** No.

The OP is obviously very superstitious, a bad speller and blind.

What he actually wants is a " ladder " detector, so he can avoid ever
walking underneath one and suffering years of bad luck.

Bet he asks for a black cat detector next.

Meooow......


...... Phil

Wouldn't he ask for a "Blak kat" detector or similar.

If you mean radar detector, as in speed cameras, don't. They don't warn you till it's too late, and they pick up loads of other crap, like the motion detectors on traffic lights to adjust timings, and something on petrol stations, and loads of other stuff.

Get a GPS and load a speed camera database onto it, it warns you a mile in advance, giving you plewnty of time to slow down. The database contains every single fixed and mobile spot and can be purchased for a couple of quid from various web sites.

Easier just to look, and avoid walking under them.

Correct I am talking about Laser speed dectection, hence the reference to an
IR (Infra Red) receiver.

The whole idea of using the laser is to let them pick out one vehicle
to check speed. They have already caught you if you are speeding, so
what good would it do? Are you planning to outrun them?

What part of "They don't warn you till it's too late" didn't you
understand?
Peter is also correct when he says "and they pick up loads of other crap"

It won't work, forget it. The commercial ones are sold to a gullible public
who want to believe such a thing can actually work.

And just to answer your question, no, you cannot use the 3 pin type IR
receiver. They have a 38KHz bandpass filter, and hence will reject
everything else.

Presumably it's meant to pick up stray particles fomr the laser when they are using it on the previous car.

The teacher had given the class an assignment. He stresses the importance of this particular assignment, and that no excuses will be accepted except illness (with a medical certificate) or a death in the immediate family (with
a note from that member).
A smart-ass student pipes up: "What about extreme sexual exhaustion, sir?"
The class breaks up laughing, and when they settle down the teacher responds with: "Well, I guess you'll have to learn to write with your other hand."

Then your cops are cleverer than ours. In the UK, cops have zero qualifications. They sit in the easy spots, same ones every time. And you can guarantee they will only be there in nice weather.

We were home alone the other night. The kids were out, and it was nice and quiet.
We were resting on the couch, my head in my wife's lap, when she took off my glasses.
"You know," she said sweetly, "without your glasses you look like the same handsome young man I married."
"You know," I said, "without my glasses, you still look pretty good too!"

Two problems with that. Firstly it's best to concentrate on the road, not the dash. Secondly, speed limits are far too low and must be broken.
