everyone knows that radio shack is giving away cue cats free, don't
they? The cue cat is an optical reader used for reading barcodes. Inside
the cat is a light sensor that might be useful for robotics. I think the
light sensor in the cat is fairly weak, mayby with a range of 1/2 inch
(I don't know for sure, I've never used a cue cat), but it could probaly
be used as a card reader or as a close range object detector, etc. Has
anyone adapted a cat for use with the rcx? If so, how? Since the cue
cats are completly, one hundred percent free, (I just walked into a
radio shack, asked for a cat, got one and walked out), they would make a
sensor that you could have as many as you want, an virtualy unlimited
light sensor source! I'd love feedback on this. Thanks in advance!
