If you're trying to eyeball the flashes you might not see anything. Two ways to
get round this: (i) add a low power LED in parallel to your transmitter diode,
so you can see it or (ii) use a digital camera or webcam, these usually have
response far enough into the infra red to pick up the flashes. (ii) worked a
treat for me.
