Do you actually need a continual series of states, and the "weight" of the thing on the end of the beam, or just know if something *is* on the end of the beam? (...)

We have compared the sampling and computing speed of NXT and RCX. NXT uses standard firmware 1.03 and is programmed with the LabVIEW toolkit. RCX is programmed with ULTIMATE ROBOLAB. Both bricks do the same thing: computing the DFT on a small (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Easy. A light sensor. Point the sensor at a disk that's shaded from white to black. I've used that to detect the distance a robot is from a wall (wall following), using just a black & a white dot (1x1) which are moved in front of the sensor. (...)
