It looks like just a regular headphone/speaker in jack with the sensor from Maplin soldered/sellotaped onto the other end.

As for which leads exactly to buy, I'm not sure myself, depends on what you wanna do really. I'd try contacting Carole about it because apparently Chris is in hospital with pneumonia.

Carole says that she's gonna try and sort something out with regards to technical help in Chris's absence but until then I suppose we're on our own :(

Try Maplin's website and search for something to do with 'distance' and infrared sensors. That's all I can think of mate.

PS Get well soon Chris!

They looked like the normal headphone wire! Chris said something about getting the ones with two ends and cutting them in half so you have two!

Think they were 3.5mm stereo cables.

You managed to get hold of some sensors yet?
