I figure LEGO must owe you about a million dollars. Getting this kind of publicity before Christmas in the New York Times is worth a ton of money. But not at all to take away from your acheivement. You earned the recognition. But tell us: how did (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hey, congratulations! That is so awesome. When I first saw your cube solver a months ago, I thought it was very clever. Back then I don't think you had integrated the camera. I hope you have the article framed or something! -Kekoa (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Same setup I have. Is your tower set to NEAR? I've heard that FAR mode is too much power for a close RCX. Dean (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi all, It seems I missed this thread... (...) As suggested by Rainer, if you use an external battery everything is much simpler, you could even use a 4.5V battery to avoid regulator. (...) I don't think you can improve this circuit with a simple (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi Gareth, maybe you don't need an external regulator ?!?! But, the specs also say that rating of supply voltage is "-0.3 to +7V". Do you know what happens to the sharp if supply voltage rises above +7V ??? (the mux has a supply voltage of +9V (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Instead of using resistors, you can use RAW mode which measures how far in the sensor was pushed. Then use a bit of tape to prevent one of the sensors from being pushed in all the way. BTW, I am lucky enough to have a defective touch sensor (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
