I recently got a Propeller Starter Kit.· It also came with an assortment of resistors, capacitors, and switches.· I can figure out the specs of most of the bits, but there are a few that I don't know.· Particularly, there·are two photoresistors.· Does anyone know the specs (or mfr and part number) for them?· In fact, if there is an available inventory, that would be nice to get too.

    If you go to the component section of the Parallax store you should be able to find each of the items in the grab-bag along with the data sheets.

    Actually, this isn't an unreasonable request..

    The PEkit has inventory lists, but I couldn't find one for this when I went looking..

    Parallax Sales?

    I see that. However, the product description for the photoresistor was not specific enough. The PDF lists 8 different parts, each with different specs. Hooking the one I have up to an meter, I think the one that was included in the kit was the VT90N1. But even those numbers don't match up to what I was seeing on the meter. I would prefer to know exactly what I have instead of having to infer it through means like this.

    Seairth,

    It should be this Perkin Elmer part:

    Thanks for getting back to me. The one I got looks and acts (according to the spec sheet) much more like this part:
