(laser pointer versions -- solder a wire from V to the laser pos wire to have that on when measuring) Remove the battery from the module! Now you'r electronics are all set up and ready to be placed somewhere.
Image Notes 1. 3.3V 2. did no pass through to Arduino board 3. Other side of diode to the IR module 4. IR module Ground 5. 5V supply for servo 6. RJ45 connector from a DSL filter (included both ends of the plug)
Image Notes 1. Ground 2. 5V from power connecto 3. 5V to servo 4. Ground to Servo 5. PWM pin 9 6. PWM pin 10 7. IR data 8. IR Clk - bring over to pin 2

Image Notes 1. This row, i pulled pin above the connector for the servos to connect to 2. this row connects to the arduino - make sure to sever connections on pcb if you do the same
1. Computer connection 2. Power connection (3v to IR module -- use diode to drop 3.3V to an acceptable range) (5V to servo) 3. Servo connections Wire the servo white wires to pins 9/10 and the red to 5V and black to bround 4. No external power required, USB can supply all 5. Interrupt IR clock pin (2)
Image Notes 1. Tilt servo 2. Pan Servo 3. HDD with motor still attached 4. Tirpod 5. Measure button is pressed with this elastic 6. L shaped link to servo, when pulled it pans down and when pushed it pans up. 7. small brackets to keep the coat hanger wire in place 8. CD spacer not necessary but can add stability
Image Notes 1. U shaped mount to hold IR sensor 2. IR lense 3. Laser pointer port 4. Sensor button always pressed

Image Notes 1. RJ45 connector to easily attach sensor 2. Bolted platform right to the HDD spindle 3. Another pin to keep the tilt rod in place 4. Left over HDD parts holding cardboard as a platform for arduino

Step 6: Thoughts
Some improvements i would like to make at some point: Make a nice gui to define the range limits (sliders instead of manual work) PDF export, or something similar, to dump the image of the scan
