I have been trying also to make something with a laser pointer. I
noticed that when you shine it directly at it it reads a 100 and the LED
goes out. it hasn't dammaged my sensor as far as I know it still works
as it did be for I used the laser.
I have been trying to use it for a guidance system. Without much sucess
I might add. The robot's movement is to jerky to "lock on" to the beam
and follow it. Anyone got some ideas to do this some other way?
