 | | Homebrew sensor question
|
|
I have been given a "broken" multi-function office machine (i.e. FAX, printer, scanner). I am wondering if there are any worthwhile bits in this type of machine that can be used to make homebrew sensors for the RCX? If anyone has ideas or experience (...)

(...) Unfortunately, BricxCC is still not downloading the brickOS firmware correctly. I will look into this problem and try to fix it. In the mean time, you can use firmdl3 which works correctly.

(...) Um, the back-EMF of the motore isn't related to the motor load per se but rather the relaxation of the current in the coil when it moves off the stators. It's also very fast (ie E=Bc) so the RCX isn't likely to get good readings for this. It's (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics)
