| There aren't user-adjustable thresholds in my Exp Board LEGO rotation sensor code. Rob, could it be that you are spinning the sensor too fast? In the docs there is a note that it only can deal with 16 rotations per sec. Fred In your message you (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Hey, Handy Board people! I don't know if anybody has noticed, but this group is dead, dead, dead! It's time to get things going. Maybe people have some neat projects going on to tell us about.

| Rob, a few Q's: 1. Can you verify that +9v is being applied to the sensor by transistor Q2. Measure the voltage at the collector, you should see a pulsed waveform (rectangular wave) with +9v on's and 0v off's. (Refer to (URL) What is the (...)
