Well... there's two things here, and Steve solution actually addresses them
both. Do you actually need a continual series of states, and the "weight" of the
thing on the end of the beam, or just know if something *is* on the end of the
beam? I'm either case Steve's solution will work, and it works very well. I used
a copy of Steve's sensor for a wall-follower and loved the application so much
I've found it popping up all over (I used it as a "forceless" feeler in my 3T
machine, and it will actually function just fine to count single soccer balls as
they roll past on a very modest slope - it can be made that low a force level).

I've done this using black, two greys, and white, and using the two rows of
white 1x1 dots edge-on to get a "calibrated non-linear" scale... but for most
things, Steve's (again) correct, just use the very slight motion between one
white and one black object, and scale the motion of the transition to the motion
you want to detect.

No. And even after some quick Wiki-ing, I still have no idea. However, I'm
trying to push the bi-stable flip-flops to new heights of sillyness. Counters,
clockers, triggerable delay gates.... but for the life of my I can't figure out
a (practical!) series of async logic gates (well, that *do* anything specific
anyway).
