Hi I am new at the list with my first question. For background information. I have not yet done much with RCX so I may ask stupid questions. I am developing IR remote controller for RCX using cheap PIC16F84 processor. I have already written physical (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, For a project I'm working on, I need to track the output of one hundred (100) photocells. I don't need great accuracy on any of them, but maybe a ten-step resolution at the most. Is there a relatively standard or well-known method to gather (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hey, Just wondered if anyone had seen Microsoft's newest IntelliMouse and, if so, if they had the same thought I did about it: this thing cries out to be hacked.

Rob, I use these same encoders just as you do, and they work fine. However, the spacing of the encoders from thier targets is important for proper function. 1.5 to 2 mm works well for me.
