How does your LEGO-DCP adapter compare to the three wire adapter from Techno
Stuff at http://home.flash.net/~sevcik/3wire.htm for sensor projects other than
LogIT sensors? Are the other LogIT sensors not supported because of no
support in the RCX code, or are they truely incompatible with the RCX using the
Lego-DCP adapter?
Are there any plans to add Lego style studs to the sensors to make mounting
easier?
Another question? The movement sensor (rotation sensor) literature claims 360
degrees of movement but only 340 degrees is measured. Yet the sensor seems to
return valid raw values for all 360 degrees of rotation. Can you please
explain? Thanks!
