Problem - Measuring Distance by IR Emitter LED & IR Receiver LED


hello guys,
i hope finds well.


so i'm trying measure distance using ir leds see in circuit diagram (attached).


however, im not getting voltage reading @ all. im getting 0.00s, when i'm supposed value in between 0.00v 5.00v depending on distance of hands leds.


i tried remove resistor , i'm still getting no results @ all.
i checked on volts across each led , reads 5v.


what doing wrong?


//*************** code used **************


void setup() {
  serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  float sensorvalue = analogread(a0)*(5.0/1023.0);
  serial.println(sensorvalue);
  delay(100);
}


thank

you have thing backwards , resistors little high on ir led use 470 ohm on ir led.
and blue wire on wrong side of resistor
