  Light Sensor in Mindstorms
 
Could somebody explain in layman's terms how the light sensor works? Thanks! Bryan (26 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Light Sensor in Mindstorms
 
The sensor uses two semiconductor devices (that's as technical as I'll get, hopefully). One of them is light sensing and the other is light producing. The sensor works by sending out some light and then sensing how much of that light is reflected (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

  LM35 Again
 
Hi, I have been trying again to connect the LM35 temp. sensor (10mV/C) to one of the general-purpose Analog inputs (No pull-up), and I have no success, the result was the following: the analog( ) was 121, the equivalent aprox. to 250 C, obviously (...)

I'm planning to release version 1.5 of MLCad soon, after that I would like to introduce some things like compatibility to LDLite. I think release 1.6 should be the point where I slow down basic developments on this thing except somebody wishes (...) (26 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
