|
| | | Hi Just wonder if there is anyone who has attempted to have lego light sensor to distinguish more colors than just black & white. Blue is too close to black... white is too close to white... ---...--- -------- Elizabeth Mabrey (19 years ago, 27-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| | | | | (...) My guess is you would have to use colour filters to get reasonable results. I did toy with that idea for doing a colour photocopier once, but haven't got around to actually testing it yet. The downside is a 3-colour scanner would either use 3 (...)

Another option that might work (read: I've not tested this at all) is using more than one color of light to (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

I have seen a custom sensor with three light sensitive elements and filters. you might be able to build a crude one with one light sensor, one motor(slowed down with worm gear or the micromotor), a wedge belt (...)

Take care of dark shiny surfaces that can reflect as much as lighter ones (try to place the sensor at an angle to avoid direct (...)
