Is a double tripwire possible on Arduino?
Hi, I have seen a tripwire using the arduino and was wondering if I would be able to make one with two lasers. The way it would be is that the laserpointer would have an external source and there would be two photoresistors on the Arduino. Would this allow me to send two unique signals to a computer?

Yes. This is possible with 2 lasers and 2 photo-resistors.

This means that a certain command would be able to be issued depending on what order the lasers were tripped?

Your circuit would act depending how you code it.
Nice thing about the Arduino, if you want to change how the circuit reacts, you are not rewiring anything.
You are just rewriting code.
