Has anyone tried turning the light sensor into a rotation sensor by
building a shaft encoder? Face the light sensor into a 'tunnel' and put
a (four bladed?) 'fan' in front of the other tunnel opening. You'd get a
pulse off the light sensor every quarter turn.

I did something similar; using the little white disks (used as targets in
the CyberSlam sets). I made gradients with markers on typing paper and
rubber cemented them to the little white disks. This let me use two light
sensors to track the position of a joystick (which worked as a remote
control for my phototank). There is a photo at

if you want to see...

Regards,
Issac.
