Hi guys, I would urge caution on the creation of complex codes to identify pieces. I admit, I am prejudiced.

I know this thread is being cross-posted to debate, but I'll ask again, shouldn't this be moved solely to the debate newsgroup? It seems like an enlightening discussion, I just don't see the relationship to LEGO any longer. Thanks, Steve (25 years ago, 25-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Add me to your list, So what can we expect to pay for train windows and doors? If $1.00 or $2.00 each, I'll take 20 of each in all colours provided they come with clear split glass. We also need to remember that the other hard parts to get are low (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

You could always make a multiplexing circuit which does the thresholding and debouncing for you. Once the status of each switch has been turned into a binary state you could then use resistors to create a sort of D/A which works reliably -- just as (...)
