(...) From what I've read, it can't be done as they use different frequencies (or something). thanks, .clint (25 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Adding a power pack to the interface isnt really a problem. How would you connect it if we use an external power supply? Can we just use Michael's GPAI at (URL) Sorry about the basic questions, I am a software engineer not an electrical engineer... (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) somewhere I read that the lego motors have a power consumptions from 100mA normal up to 450mA stalled. Am I wrong with this ? BTW why not use an external power pack if necessary ?

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 (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
