Re: Why not analog sensors??

As has already been said indirectly several times, what's wrong with a simple signal with a simple algorithm? Sure, it's really fun to make a complex algorithm that works, but in the real world, the simpler things are, the less likely they are to fail and the easier they are to maintain.

Linux is an example of this. It gives you complete power; you can delete anything, access kernel memory, change kernel memory, etc. It lets you do anything, but if you don't know what you are doing, you can easily break it. (assuming, of course you are admin; users are a different story.) Windows on the other hand, doesn't let you do that. It pretty much protects you from stuff that you can do to break it. (It lets itself break itself, but again, another story) The banner sensor are the same way; you don't have as much power, but they protect you from interference from anything other than what you actually want.
