I thought I could wire the pipe tagger in a day, but it took nearly an hour to gather my tools, components, print a schematic, and set up. During the struggle, I adjusted my goal and made an infrared receiver module. I made a pair and added several notes to my schematic. I struggled to get the four receivers to a consistent height until I used the long capacitor as the standard. Each receiver has a 100Ω, and each cluster has one 20µF capacitor. The small PCBs worked wonderfully. The wiring was finicky, but I kept it tidy. I made PCBs years ago, but I could not find them.
