For Binky readme file
I found that the optical sensor model is wrong in the readme file, which could be misleading to some people, to waste time and money to buy the very wrong product in order to make their own binky module.

It says it's SX398 in readme file , it has 3 pins on one side (total 5pins, very unusual for a IR sensor, and it's not cheap at all ).
So instead i created a new PCB based on the same small Omron sensor that is used on the KY-010 board, the EE-SX398. It's tiny, reliable and cheap

However in the schematic and BOM file it's EE1103, a very different IR sensor, and it's a usual 4pin sensor.
also in the image of etsy, it has 4 pins, so I guess it's indeed 4pins, and silkscreen also says "1103"

So I guess the readme file is wrong ? it's not SX398 at all ?

I also purchased a few KY-010 board, it has two pins in one side and 4 pins total, so it's definitely not SX398 neither. it should be SX1103 ? It has the same size as 1103 , 5X5X4mm, and 2mm slot.
Please double check, thanks

Made the mistake of purchasing 10 SX398. Not cool.
