electric power.

Another option would be a small battery box,

Hi, I asked this problem a few weeks (or months??? ... I don't know a what time ...) but nobody could help. I got the same following answer ".... the sensor takes 35 mA and this is to much for the RCX ..." but I couldn't understand this at this (...)
