nice work (and nice idea).
Do you think you can reduce the latency of 300 ms ?

Unfortunately not, you have to get the energy from somewhere. Of course you
could do it with an external supply...

What about a larger capacitor that could sustain multiple readings between
charges ?
Or a small rechargeable battery that was trickle charging when the sensor wasn't
being read ?

(...) Can be done, but charging time will be proportionnally longer. Could be useful for burst reads. (...) Mmmm... at that point an external battery pack would be much simpler and not that big ! Philo (URL) page : (URL) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
