Hi, Here is a link on how to hook up the GP2D02 to the RCX http://www.inchlab.com/gp2d02_interface.htm It seems to be overly complicated. Not to put down on Peter's creation as I think it was ingenious, but there must be a easier way to do this instead of compromising an input & an output port... Ram -- MIME ATTACHMENTS DISCARDED: 1.

(...) Hi Ram, I don't know an easier way of using GP2D02 but why don't you use the GP2D12 instead ? It has an analog output. You don't have to analyze any serial protocol. And as the lego light-sensor has a driven light source, it should be possible (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

		Re: Interfacing Sharp's GP2D02 Distance Sensor to the RCX
Unless I am missing something here, the Sharp range of IR distance sensors all have power consumptions in the 35mA range, which prohibits their use with the RCX unless you resort to using external power packs. How do you propose getting around this (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

		Re: Interfacing Sharp's GP2D02 Distance Sensor to the RCX
(...) Hallo Ram, you are right that my solution for the Distance Tracker Bot, the interface for the GP2D02 is a real "resource killer". At the beginning i planned to istall two of the GP2D02 at my RCX with this interface. That's the reason i'd (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
