Because of the heat it got uncomfortable, a LED would have been better.The waveform from the photocell was quite distinct and easy to amplify to a logic level. The one I should have made was a small clip with an LED tx/rx pair that went on the earlobe. I think this would give better results than a finger as earlobes don't have bone in them.
