But you really need to know what type of antenna your feeding, the radio's frequency, the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Almost Ultrasonic Motion Sensor
|
| A big problem with ultrasonic sensors is the power they consume to create the ultrasonic beacon. I don't think the RCX sensor port has enough output to run one of these. I've started to experiment with the sound generator built into the RCX as the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| I wanted to make the RCX make a certain pitched sound based on sensor readings the other day (primarily the light sensor), however it appears you can't make the frequency of the command equal to a variable. Does anyone know why this is and if there (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: Light Sensor in Mindstorms
