| | 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)
