Hi, I own the 24Khz from Mindsensors. I have not played with it a lot, mainly
because I cannot get useful behavoiur. The device works nearly as a binary
detector, object present in xxx meter or no object. Minimum distance is around
30 and max about 1.5 m or so. (Speaking from the memory, I cannot find my notes
with real measures). It cannot be used to measure distances and its behaviour is
far away from a linear system.
In the RCX side the sensor has to be configured as a light sensor, and doesn't
need charge time.
If someone has achieved better results with this sensor, please let us know.
The sensor is not great stuff but it's cheap.
Bye.

| (...) Most of my results from the HiTechnic sensor were the opposite of this. I find it to be very useful, so I use it all the time. The readings seem to show a good, linear output based on the distance. (even though I usually use it as a binary (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics)
