I agree this is the heart of the problem...
I made a small experiment and saw strange things on my scope. Has anyone
already open a Lego rotation sensor ? I'd like to have a look to internal
photographs and/or see a circuit diagram.
I tried to open one, but everything seems glued and I fear to break it...
