For anyone interested...

I picked up a few 3VDC laser pointer modules from RadioShack recently for less
than $10.00 each.

The module is RS#277-1101.  Here is a link to a picture of it next to a 2x4
brick.

Here is a link to the PDF file for the device:

This appears to be a discontinued item from RS, but I've seen quite a few of
them in several stores.

I have 2 laser pointers hacked up, waiting for me to buy the diodes and such
to finish. :)  IIRC, "The Website" has the links, or Lego laser pointer on
Google turns them up fine.

Subject: lasers and RCX


    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.
