 | | Proximity Sensors for Legway —Harold Jarvie
|
| | | 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 (...)

| | | | | | Hi Chris :) Hitechnic have just changed their webpage marking the EOPD's as withdrawn and to explain that they do not have the time to share their schematics with the kind of profesionalism they desire. Which is a pity, cause I'm gratefull for any (...) (21 years ago, 23-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. I don't know how much code modification was required, but here is his (...) (21 years ago, 22-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | 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 (...)

| | | | Hi Henrik Thanks for the pointers.... I've got it working a lot better than in the video now but have a way to go to get as good as Steve's. I'll try and get the video's updated in the next couple of days. I'm keen to hear what you and Steve make (...) (21 years ago, 10-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
