| (...) Thanks, Jen. I'll have a go at it. (...) Well, I was just thinking to what extent you could take the pressure sensor device. Actually, most of my own creations don't use the RCX. And they're mostly powered by the manually operated hand pump. (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

| With all this talk of pneumatics going on, I feel I must inform you that all my current and pending creations hardly use pneumatics at all, I've binned them in favour of something more suited to my needs. I'd love to tell you but you'll have to wait (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

| (...) Sure - I made a rather ugly version of it including limit switch for my skid steer loader model. There is a picture here; I don't actually think many modifications other than replacing the small and large pully with 8 and 40 tooth gears were (...)

| (...) I don't know how or why but I don't seem to have come across it. I guess I could try to build one but it'll help if you could give me a link or reference to it. (...) Well, I can have a go at it. But really, with this pressure sensor thing, (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

| (...) Nice work as ever! One type of pump I've not seen you test yet is a varation of Michael Powell's using an 8 tooth gear onto 40 tooth gear reduction rather than the belt drive, as this seems to improve performance significantly. How about a (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

|
| Hi, fellow pneumatics fans Ever since the RCX Controlled Air Compressor Tester was posted, there have been many suggestions for it's improvement, in particular to linearize the tracing. More importantly, several people have commented that it was, (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta) !

| I have a Halogen uplight lighting a room and my solar cell will power a motor, with no load up to a distance of around '6 (3' work height) from the light pole. This will fluctuate according to the reflectance's of the ceiling, walls, etc. Rose (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.dacta)
