(...) You can improve the single sensor program considerably by having it go straight when it sees an intermediate value, which is what it would see when it's right on the edge. So, you have two cutoffs, LOW and HIGH. If light value is less than (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Do any of the "third party" firmware options for the RCX allow one to control what is sent through the H8 serial port?
