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 problem?

| Hi, Here is a link on how to hook up the GP2D02 to the RCX (URL) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
