Hi all, I've been looking for some way to connect multiple devices (Handyboards, other 68HC11's, PIC's, custom devices, & PC's). From what I can find, I2C is the Phillips protocol which is well documented and supported. (Docs, Specilaized chips, (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

James What you see as black and what is black to IR may be different. I did some experiments for a line following race, and found that some black markers actually made the paper reflect IR better than plain white paper. The conclusion of my (...)

I wonder whether there are some phototransistors out there that have peak sensitivity to a small range of the visible spectrum. Preferably to "one color". Can anyone fill in here? ---...--- ericson mar Robotics Consultant mar@cooper.edu (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) What about putting different color filters in front of a photo transister, like you would on a camera. You could then enhance certain colors by filtering out the others. You may have to deal with some reduction in sensitivity but it may be (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
