transistors either.  I'll touch up the circuit and see if it looks right.

Well if anybody still cares, I think the LEGO light sensor circuit is 100% correct now. The sensor is a phototransistor. Looking at the circuit implies a interesting side effect. If you shine a very bright light (ie laser pointer) into the (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
