Excellent suggestion!!! We'll open one sensor and try once again.

Someone else interested in repeating the experiment? Philo?

(...) I would be interested, but I have no audio equipment (apart from a function generator) Very interesting data BTW! Philo (18 years ago, 28-Feb-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.boats)

(...) due to who's catalog arrived at my house first. They look almost identical in functionality except the LabQuest has a stylus and more memory, while the XplorerGLX has I2C sensors (or seomthing like them; it seems they transmit digital (...)

(...) Since I was doing this all manually, it was by far the easiest. I realized that a better way would be to vary the signal generator level at each frequency, but often when trying that I simple "maxed out" the reported level from the sound (...)
