(...) Sam, you need to tell us more about 'how much' light-tightness you want and if the ambient has some or no light at all. As an extreme example, in testing a photographic darkroom for light-tightness it is common to hang a few rolls of unexposed (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Light Sensor question

I'm new to mindstorms so I have a simple question. At work, we're trying to measure the light tightness of rings. Basically this involves observing how much light passes through the outside edge of a ring. Is there any way a mindstorm light sensor (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi Joe, Thank you for your fast reply, you are right, alle the 4 RCXs can see the tower, but I dont think thats the problem, since the problem also is present when only one RCX is turned on, or the other 3 are removed from the place.

From the picture (d1_p31) it looks as though all 4 RCXs can see the tower. I don't know anything about pcrcxcomm.jar or rcxf7port; and not much about lejos, however, if all 4 RCXs try to respond to the tower, you will have collisions. Try covering (...)

I'm thinking something like a hybrid between the GameboyRCX and what we have now.... What if you could use an IR equipped palmPilot (or Clie), or even a PocketPC to talk to a simple micro. Wait, you'd need an IRDA protocol stack on the micro, unless (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
