(...) ----- True, but the RS CDS cells are cheap and using them in parallel or series also changes the response range, since all the resistances change with light levels. This would be most dramatic in the series connected case at the low resistance (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I built a sensor out of one of those and it works fine, so yours is probably defective. I superglued mine to the top of a 2x2 brick with the studs removed.

I've got 2 RCX's and 2 pc's in the same room so will be working with this over the next couple of weeks. The 2 RCX units work really well, my next step is to get the PC's to join the party. My implementation of LNP so far leads me to believe it is a (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have an rcx 1.0 and a universal adaptor (the kind with the different plug sizes and voltage settings). Two questions: (1) Do i have to worry about polarity?

When I first checked out the Radio Shack CDS cell five packs, the cells were all alike, about 1/4 inch and flat on two sides. But when I went back, I found some packs that had different cells.
