Hi all,
I proudly present you my custom made infrared switch to toggle the Leslie on eg. a Nord Stage 2, by waving your hand in front of the sensor.
See it in action here:
(don't mind the noise in the background; the device itself is completely quiet)

Thank you very much for this. You've produced a great guide here. I saw your post on a Facebook group and signed up here specifically for this. I didn't even know there was a Nord Forum. Very cools stuff.
I expect this will work fine with my old Electro 2 and will add it to my list of electronic tinkering projects I have to do for the home studio.
From one Steven to another, thanks

PCB board layout has been updated; capacitor C2 was drawn incorrect.
(Thanks to Bart van de Griendt for mentioning this to me!)

I'm not sure what to do with the holes of the sensor...

Get this patented! Very nice idea. It just won't bring a fortune.
And a nice thing to invite FB users to the forum. For me - in contrary - FB is closed land. Hardly any access as I don't accept the terms of use.

Not sure if you can get this patented. Since Roland has something like this called the V-beam I thought?

Actually it is called D-beam. I'm not sure if it works with lesslie speed since I never had a roland with organ engine, but you can assign various modulations to it.
