| | | That sensor looks very cool. It seems like it could run off of the standard brick voltage too, unlike the sonar sensor which would need an additional battery pack. And it is cheap. Rig it up! (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | | Hi, this seems to be a very good idea for a new RCX sensor. Reading the Sharp data sheets for their infrared distance sensors I want to write some facts about. They have 4 different sensors for measuring distances from 10 to 80 cm. The differences (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) Ralf, If I remember correctly, these sensors draw about 30 mA, which is the limit for a powered sensor for the RCX. You may need to add an additional battery to supply the current....

| | | | | | Ooh, you're right. This seems to be too much for battery powered models. Has anybody a better idea? I want to have a sensor with gives a linear (?) signal corresponding to a distance. For an 1-bit boolean signal I saw a plan in elektor 9/2000 (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
