| | | | ok, sans any response -- Using NQC, I can turn on & off the LED on my light sensor (changing sensor type between LIGHT and NONE). If I attach a motor to the input, it turns at a low power level (a bit less than power=1) if the sensor type is LIGHT. (...) (20 years ago, 7-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) No, that's an internal limitation of RCX inputs: when configured for active sensors, they provide a 14mA current limited supply. This low current is enough to light a LED or slowly turn a motor, but don't expect to get any significant (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | well I've decided to go with 2 RCX's anyway. Later I may switch to a non-lego controller ala handyboard, brainstem, etc. Anyway, for the record, the current is also pulsed in order to get the reading from the photoreceptor. I still suspect I could (...) (20 years ago, 9-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)
