Years ago, there was a thread about hooking up lasers to the RCX and
using then for signaling and proximity sensing. Aside from the dire
warnings (Don't blind the cat!), does anybody remember this thread?
I've recently come into ownership of a few hundred cheap 1.5 volt lasers
and was wondering if anybody has any cool projects with the RCX and low
power lasers. Links would be lovely.

| Yes, I remember. I did save a search on Laser PEN's on eBay because of that :) I planned to use video image analysis (er... machine/robotic vision) to keep track of (and measure) the reflection of laser line on objects. I say LINE and not DOT (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| Hi, Dan I remember that thread. But I don't remember anything concrete about that. I started a small project of mine at the time based on that. I have an sugestion for you. Focus on the problem, not the solution. What do you want to do exactly? (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
