Dear Roger,
In addition to the stuff they sell at www.hitechnic.com there are the following
vendors of alternative sensors:
www.techno-stuff.com
www.mindsensors.com
(Of course there are also the sensors from DCP which they sell at
www.plestore.com (was: www.pitsco-legodacta.com).)
The combination of IR and light sensor is limited, but certainly a good starting
point. I have also tried the IR with two light sensors solution to distinguish
left or right objects respectively - also limited success.
Regards,
Dirk
