I am using 0.2.4 now, I want to know what difference between 0.2.4 and 0.2.5 to decide if I need to upgrade it. Br Zhengrong (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, I've got a way to use a Rotation sensor and a light sensor on the same input, and get reliable, useful values from both. This is for real. See : (URL) was interested if anyone else has done this. Enjoy everyone. Mike Amy (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
