A couple of day’s ago I heard about an COLOR light sensor for the RCX. I have searched on the Internet for this, but the only thing I could find was a NQC program for this sensor. Does anyone know more about this, has the schematics of this sensor, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I can own up to having done some work in this area. It isn't "available" yet because I haven't found an easily producible way to mount the LEDs yet. The device works as follows; The heart of the thing is a small PIC microcontroller which (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) VERY interesting! I was just talking with someone at the last SMART meeting how cool it would be if there was a colour light sensor. I can't wait to read more about it! Keep us informed how you do with it. I'm not exactly sure what a reading (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Would it not be better to have 3 'eyes' each with a different filter. Red, Blue and green coloured filters. We used to do this for digitizing. Doesn't this application following the same rules? Since each 'eye' would have a different reading (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I toyed some time ago with the idea of colored leds to provide color information to RCX - I didn't construct anything yet. I intended to use R/V/B leds (the addition of an IR one is a good idea) with an RCX controlled cycling mechanism to light the (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi Philo and color light sensor interested people: I know that Mike Gasperi has designed an unexpensive super color-sensor based on an input-multiplexer which is driven by switching the RCX from passive to active sensor-mode all the time. The (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi Philo, as I pointed out, Mike has published the color-sensor somewhere in an article. You should send him a mail and ask where you can find the schematics and perhaps the PCboard. Claude (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I’ve send an e-mail to Michael Gasperi. This is his answer: (...) So he can’t give the schematics because he has sold the copy rights to the magazine. the only way to get them is to buy this magazine. (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
