Hi Kekoa,
Could you post your working IR .srec code or email me if possible? I have
tried the examples with the LegOS read sensor routines and I still get the
same results. i.e. it works at about 2mm from the unit but fails after more
than 5mm. I know the IR is doing somthing becuase if I block the IR with some
black card the readings drop from about 230 to 208. Could it be a fault with
the light sensor?
Also, although I did have a search, you mentioned about some code for polling
the a/d inputs not using LegOS, could you point me in the right direction, as
I can't seem to find it on the server. Sorry.
Again, thanks for your time,
Phil
P.S.
Maybe I (we) should really give up on this one !!!
