Tom, it is possible to also buy ready made voltage sensors for the RCX, see
http://www.dcpmicro.com/lego/
I have used a most of the sensors from this company for data-logging
purposes, but have not yet used the voltage sensor. If you would like more
info, I can probably try it out over the weekend.

| Are you powering the RCX from this battery? If so you can use the RCX it'self to monitor the battery. task main() { while (true) { SetUserDisplay(BatteryLevel(), 3); } } I use this to detect if my 1.0 RCX is plugged in or on batterys. Hope that (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
