Does anybody know what the measurement limits are for the temperature
sensor (particularly on the high end)? Do you think the sensor could be
damaged by exceeding the upper limit? How about plain LEGO pieces --
does
anybody know how hot you can get them before they melt?
Any information or pointers to information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
tja

| (...) As far as I can tell, the limits of reading the temp sensor (using the RCX firmware) are from about -20C to +70C. Anything outside of that range will not get interpreted by the RCX firmware. If you're thinking about reading it in some custom (...) (26 years ago, 17-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
