This document describes a 40kHz light detector circuit designed to detect light at 40kHz while being immune to ambient light such as from a flashlight. The circuit uses a photodiode, LF412 op-amp, and various resistors and capacitors to convert light into a 40kHz signal and filter out ambient light frequencies. It was designed by Dave Johnson to detect light modulated at 40kHz.
