After I have done the changes desribed in
thread: http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/rcx/legos/?n=3266
Subject:  brickos-0.2.6.10 .text is not within region ram
now i can compile the kernel with CONF_DSENSOR_MUX.

But the DSENSOR_MUX does not work.

I have checked this item with an osciloscope on the INport of RCX.
The switching is not working (sensor in avtiv for 10ms /passiv 10ms and so on).

To test this stuff without having an osziloscope almost everybody can do
that with the PC and a soundcard.

1)  description of the simple curcuit:
    RXC port has activ about 7 V .
    The input of a soundcard (called AUX or LINEIN ) need approx. 700mV (it
is more or less the same voltage you need fon taperecorder or preamplifieres).

    So you need 2 resistors drop down the volatage from 7V to 0.7 V


100 KOhm
          ___
7V  ----I___I----------------------  700 mV to AUX/line input from soundcard
        |
port              --
from              I I
RCX               I I 10 KOhm
                   I I
                   --
                    |
    -------------------------------  to GND input from soundcard

2) you need a windows program for recording (eg Soundforge) and to visualize
the *.wav file.

I tried the following program and it seems to be doing something useful with the sensor power. I looked at it on the scope and it generates a regular pattern with 10ms pulses. I don't have one of these sensor mux devices so I can't actually tell if (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
