The rest of the LED's are infrared and invisible to the naked eye. One way to "see" the light (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Hi, I got a roboball and wished to test it out for my group of kids to do a soccer game. When I first received it, one light bulb was lit. I tested it with the lego light sensor, but no reading. Then I connected it to a 9v . Unfortunately, now, the (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

I have a program with a setup routine for calibrating light sensors.
