Help creating a scanner

Archive: 2 posts


So I'm trying to make a sort a scanner that reads an array of multi-colored keys that are emitted depending on the user's actions.
What I currently have is the keys being held in a straight line, and pistons moving the key switches that will read them. Now, my problem is that the switches sometimes do not turn on, even though the keys are clearly in range. And sometimes they go off time, as in the previous key turns on the switch while it should be the current key. I've tried to make the piston go slower and slower, but it doesn't solve the problem. My magnetic key switch angle is about 10 degrees for each.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Does it have something to do with the time for the switch to activate/deactivate? I would like to fix this, since I want to finish my level, but can't without this working.

When you lower the radius to something like 10 degrees, the detection gets a little wonky and doesn't always work. I'd spread out the keys, speed up the piston slightly, and give them larger radii.2009-10-12 19:56:00
