Hello, Over in k12.ed.science a poster wanted to perform an experiment where he would time how long it took various objects to fall when dropped inside a long tube. He was looking for information regarding timing circuits, how to build one, where to (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) snip... (...) ...snip Frank, ROBOLAB provides some great datalogging possibilities, complete with calculation and charting capability. But then, you have to buy the sensors, offered through Pitsco LEGO Dacta and elsewhere. For example, with (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I calculated the acceleration of gravity once with a light sensor, touch sensor (for timing purposes), a ruler, and ROBOLAB 2. It didn't involve a whole lot of data so it didn't make it into the Sample Projects of ROBOLAB Investigator, but some (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

My daughter's science fair project last year used an RCX and 3 light sensors to time a LEGO sled sliding down a metal ramp with a LEGO light on the opposite side of the ramp from each light sensor, she had a primitive break-beam sensor. She used the (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
