I already picked up a few switches and a potentiometer. I may pick up another potentiometer though. Also, I might pick up a few infrared phototransistors. Are these analog or digial sensors? Any other neat gizmos to pick up? I've got to admit, I love playing around with all these sensors. Hehe, "Captain, sensors are picking up a spatial anomoly! We should shut down the warp drive!!!" lol.  |
ALL switches = digital (well not exactly, theres resistor switch chains...)
potentiometer = analouge
phototransistors = digital
*other toys you can get at the shack*
photoresistors / css cells = analouge
opto-couples = digital
current sensors (K.O.P.) = analouge
gyro chip (K.O.P.) = analouge
hall effect sensor = digital
any questions on how any of these work or how to code them feel free to ask me (pm, aim, msn, icq, irc... lol)
