Hi !

I am trying to make a gray code rotation sensor using hardware from an old

Thank you in advance for your answer

(...) The circuit shown, is rather basic, but perfectly acceptable. The phototransistor draws a varying amount of current according to the incident light level. During the 'sense' phase of the Lego cycle, the voltage being returned is read, with the (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
