  Re: Lightsensor
 
(...) This are normal values for a light sensor. The values depend on the light in the room and the properties of the thing you're looking on (with the lightsensor). I use 40 for the border between white and black and it works well. Rainer (25 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Lightsensor
 
Hi all, as a newbie I have a problem in the training center with my new 1.5 RIS. The lightsensor shows only a range of 37/47 in view-mode between black and white. (and so it doesn´t beep) Is this normal or due to a msfunction of the sensor ? Thomas (25 years ago, 25-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Rotary Sensor and RCX Code
 
I am having sever problems figuring out how to get the rotary sensor to do what I want it to with RCX Code.

You must not have had QuickTime 4 installed previously. The RIS software forces install of QT2 and 3 (pretty damned archaic if you ask me) and if you already have 4 installed, which huge numbers of people do now, yer up the crick. As I mentioned (...)

  Re: No CD with my new RIS 1.5
 
The tower is just a serial device! No driver (other than that supplied by Win2K) needed! You can also use NQC to program your brick, or order RoboLab ($25) from Pitsco (www.pldstore.com).
