  RE: Light sensor values
 
One the raw note, my CdS cell (which measures about 20K ohms in the near dark, and about 500 ohms pointed at the florescent light) returns raw values between 1000 (pointed into a dark blue coffee cup) to 48 (pointed directly at the light with a (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I have a CdS based light sensor but do not use it often because of the slow response to changing light conditions. I know CdS cells can vary (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  color sensor: was ( Light sensor values)
 
(...) It seems like you could get about 3-4 bits for each color if you were only using one input port. That's not very good resolution. Perhaps a better way would be to design a color sensor and use a pic chip for it's brain. It could sample all (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Pure-Lego (but more than one input/output unless a motor can be driven off of the output to a light sensor and the input from a light sensor and rotation sensor can be multiplexed): 1) 1 light sensor 2) 1 (micro)motor to drive the rotation of the (...)

More simlple : use the sensor input mux by Michael Gasperi. You can easily connect 3 (up to 7) passive sensors to one RCX input. I've completed mine, but didn't test it already. "Stephen P. Gibbons" a écrit : (...) ---...--- Philippe Jadin (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
