(...) Yah, but if I'm gonna build my own sensors, there's a lot I could do. I'm sort of a purist. I'm trying to stick with the stock sensors so that most people can build a copy of my system. Printing out something on a printer and gluing it to (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

hi Chris, (...) That's in fact a good principle. Isn't it possible to improve the dynamic range of the light-sensor by taping the red LED, I read that somewhere but I don't know where. Why not use a continuous grayscale, with pure with and black (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

As I am not so purist, I think that an angle sensor based on a small potentiometer (There's a description on Michael Gaspari's site) would be the simplest solution... But your absolute encoder is a challenge in itself! What about using two (...) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You could build a rotation sensor found on Michael Gaspari's site, using a magnetic strip. It is supposed to give 40 or so counts per revolution. Andy (...) -- See my Visual Interface for leJOS at (URL) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
