Rod the sensor housing looks fantastic! You did a fine job. Glad the sensor is working to your expectations. I’ve recently used the HCSR04 as a gate crossing sensor. I’ll post some video once done editing video.

Thanks Ron; it's been a really gratifying project. The sensors work great and you deserve big kudos for bringing this technology to our attention. Sorry if I kind of hijacked the topic a little, but the project really developed a life of its own! Any future installs on my layout will be using these sensors as a standard, and I will be switching some older IR sensors over as time and initiative permits.

For anyone who wants to print their own cabinets and/or pcb bases like those pictured, I can make the .stl files available, just shoot me an email.
