I had been in a DA for quite a while, but got myself restarted using LPub and
LSynth.

I've been building in prep for BF for many weeks.

Will this new central timing circuit allow you to attach touch sensors, so, if you
wanted, you could track the state of the walker with an RCX?

Just curious.  :)

(...) Yes, it should be just as doable as it would be with the quad-242 circuit. You could either use four switches to examine the timing circuit, or two switches to examine a leg. (...) ;^) (...) Kevin (19 years ago, 29-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Will this be needed if we always have at least four feet locked into weight bearing state at a time? I've incorporated your folding/locking table leg into this walker. You will want touch sensors to avoid falling off the table though I guess. (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
