No, the RCX knows nothing about the diodes. That is why devices like the light sensor only send a current signal in the range 0 - 0.32mA back to the RCX. This current then creates a voltage drop across the 10k reference resistor with respect to the (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
