Hi I'm keen on building a Legway but Hitechnic tell me they no longer supply the sensors.... (or I maybe they don't want to supply me in New Zealand) Are there alternatives? either pre built or a circuit daigram? I don't have any electronics (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Henrik Dahlgren posted here several months back saying that he had successfully built a LegWay using standard LEGO Light Sensors instead of the HiTechnic Proximity Detector.

Thanks Chris I had seen Henriks posts before but for some reason forgot all about it (I suspect an irrational Java aversion) I think the fact that Steve has published his code makes his solution more attractive to those of us who would like to try (...)

Which is a pity, cause I'm gratefull for any (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
