Hi, this seems to be a very good idea for a new RCX sensor. Reading the Sharp data sheets for their infrared distance sensors I want to write some facts about. They have 4 different sensors for measuring distances from 10 to 80 cm. The differences (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
