Have you adapted the sensor to work with the rcx, or have you just taken out
the light sensor? If you have adapted it successfully, how did you do it?

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!

I had hoped it would be a good supply myself.
But the local Radio Shack guys recognize me now!

... I haven't given up though. I have a collection box outside
my office door for people to drop off cue cats that they get
on my behalf :)

The sensor has a shield with a tiny pinhole in it. If you
remove the shield it is more sensitive, but obviously not
well enough focused anymore to read bar codes.

It all depends on how good you are with a soldering iron!
