Hi !

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

The circuit needed to drive the photo transistor should be the same as for
your rotation sensor URL: http://www.umbra.demon.co.uk/sensor1.html.
I do however don't quite understand the photo resistor driver part. Are You

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)
