| (...) Nice idea, Karim. The gradient idea keeps it down to one sensor. If you are willing to use two sensors, then the usual method is to add a second photo sensor out of phase by half a slot. You interrupt when the first sensor goes low (or high). (...) (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
