Subject: [alt-beam] Re: new idea.
I just looked up some of my notes (no I don't keep these regularly, but you
really really should) and I had an interesting idea about what one could use
them for: Antenea (sp?) ever watch ants and other bugs? Their little
antennas swing all around looking for objects, thats what I though you could
use the low-code effect for. If you detect which output is high, you can
decide which direction the sensor is moving. And when the direction changes,
you know you hit an object. I say, go build something with it!
