Do you mean I can plop two three terminal npn phototransistors into a
standard photopopper and lose the photodiodes and trim pot? Definately sounds
like BEAM minimalisim to me. What about tactile sensors? where would they
hook up? And how would the pin out on the phototransistor compare to the
3904? This sounds like a jewel to me. I wanna build one! I have the
phototransistors, I had planned on making a vore and more type deal. But,
this idea intrigues me as well. Good job!
