(...) The light sensor is an active sensor, which means that it requires power to operate. When you call ds_passive, you are no longer supplying power to the sensor between readings.

Some months ago, I posted this question, but got no response. I've finally played with it some more this morning and have some observations: 1) After setting ds_active, my light sensor returns values of 0-100, as I should. 2) After calling (...)

Following some discussion about the topic a few weeks ago, I was sufficiently curious and motivated enough to write a floating point library for the H8/RCX.

The first phase of the JVM port to the RCX is complete (translating the existing 68HC11 code into C++). We are now testing that to make sure the port did not introduce bugs.
