Hi Dennis
One of the interesting but not clearly documented parts of the Code pilot
Brick is the little white star wheel optical activator. you can program the
brick to "activate" when the star wheel is turned. One way would be to set it
to move when you rolled the model and then some sequence of action would start.
My idea had been the use it in a four prop air plane.. Hand spinning one
propeller, which then "starts up" the other props. I think the limit of
sequential actions is 8 but you can put a loop at the end of the program to
start them over again. you have speed (3),direction of motor control( forward
,reverse and stop , stop is actually a brake), a timed duration control (random
time is one option)five sounds and a silence control( no volume setting) and
the touch sensor option (when touch or not touch ) proceed to next action.
Hope this helps !
John

| (...) One. (...) The controller has only one motor output, as well as one input for touch sensor. Thesedays I use it solely as a fancy battery box. (...) A touch sensor. You can see it from the picture in the S@H catalog. (...) You get a decent mix (...) (25 years ago, 25-Sep-99, to lugnet.reviews)
