I retrofitted my tachometer board and soldered it down to a perforated board. I then wired everything to it.
Yes.... I know.... It looks horrible. But it is only a prototype.

After getting the circuit wired and code working properly, I am beginning to lose faith in these off-the-shelf IR sensors. Unfortunately, the just do not seem to have the field-of-view I am going to need. (they are "Distance" sensors after all)
On the other hand, the sensor are mounted on the same flat surface. I should try to angle them a little and see if that helps.
Next steps...
- Attempt to improve current IR sensors
- Play with different IR sensors
- Begin working on custom PCB (in-work, see below)
