Hello, For the DEXI, what IR sensor and laser module should we be using? Is there one suggested, or should we buy our own? Also, for the laser usage, what is the timing or delay we should have on our laser for the 5 hits needed to weld the cracks in the bridge. Thank you! Shivam Patel ---

Also, for the IR LED, what is the sensor being used to transmit the beams to the DEXI, so if we do need to find our own sensor we know what to look for. Thank you again! ---

Starting next week we will be shipping the sensor kits that will include the IR emitter/receiver, laser, mosfet, and stl files to print and mount everything to DEXI. We will also be publishing content for wiring and programming the week after that. To answer your other question this will be the IR combo you’ll be receiving: > **[IR Break Beam Sensor with Premium Wire Header Ends - 5mm LEDs](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2168)** > > Infrared (IR) break-beam sensors are a simple way to detect motion. They work by having an emitter side that sends out a beam of human-invisible IR light, then a receiver across the way ... The emitter will be for test purposes and is what will be mounted throughout the field. I hope this helps and please don’t hesitate to follow up with any other questions. ---

Yes, as of yesterday all laser kits have shipped. Your team should receive it this week. In the kit there will be a sheet of paper with a QR code to the course on wiring/programming. ---

Is there a tracking number we can get or a way to get the tracking number ---

What school are you with? I’ll see if I can dig up the tracking for you. ---
