Hi All,
My questions:
I was going to get the parts from Maplin, but I can't find 1/2 CD4013
This needs to run on batteries, but the circuit diagram has earth
symbols -
can some explain this to me? please.
Laser keyrings cost about Ł10. A laser on its own costs about Ł25 - any
reason I can't pull one from the keyring?
My Story:
I wish to make a laser device that will "train" a golfer to aim
correctly -
it's a xmas prezzy for my partners father. I must confess, I know very
little about electronics, although I have made a MIDI device for an atari
computer (Etched circuit board and all), but don't ask me how it worked !
Basically it's a box on the floor against the wall that emits a beam to a
putter face (which has a mirror on it). The target is to aim the putter
back at the device - the beam reflection against the wall indicates how
accurate the aim was. The laser will be controlled by a whistle
controlled
flip flop switch. Here's the circuit diagram for a whistle flip flop that
I
plan to use.

Thanks to anyone that can help
