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 three sensors, save the results then send the
them to the port one color at a time. It could alternate the top bit so
that the software could determine which color reading was coming
in. Pretty far fetched I'm sure...

| 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)
