| (...) I figure it would take quite a gale to turn over the gear motor with any degree of accuracy, but you might be able to rig something with the rotation sensor and a model airplane prop. Daniel "Dan'l" Miller Senior, School of Aeronautics and (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| Daniel, Peter Hesketh posted a similar suggestion, and yes the motor may be too firm for the job. I'll play around and do some testing, this week or as I can get time. Then I'll post the results. My goal is to end up with a pure Lego anemometer or (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| It occurs to me that a pure Lego solution could be constructed fron a fibre-optic doodad and a light sensor. Get your mechanisim to rotate the fibre-optic rotator, use one fibre pointing at the light sensor, and bingo! instant anero...wossname. and (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| There is a better way to use the fiber optic doodad as a rotation sensor: just connect it to the RCX on an input configured as a light-sensor and count pulses in electrical resistance. Read more here: (URL) -----Original Message----- (...) (URL) (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| Way to go Simen! I just looked at your web site - Very cool. I can't wait to give this a try. Is there anywhere on your site where you have a code sample to share two sensors on one input? Regards, Dave Ryder. In article (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) I will post more code in a short while, but I am editing those web-pages on a different computer than i keep my NQC programs so that needs a bit of coordination. But I can outline the basics right away (i have no reference right here so bear (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
