LDraw Parts of HiTechnic Sensors and Multiplexers now available

A couple of months ago I worked with Philo on creating a complete set of LDraw
parts for the HiTechnic sensors and multiplexers.  These are now available for
download from the HiTechnic downloads page.  

Look near the bottom of <http://www.hitechnic.com/downloads>.

This LDraw parts pack includes all currently available HiTechnic sensors as well
as the two multiplexers.  For the Sensor Multiplexer, even the battery pack has
been modeled.  A very cool feature of this parts pack is that all the units now
have the text printed onto them.

Here is a sample image featuring the parts from this pack:

A really cool thing about the text is how it takes the shape of the surface it
is projected onto.  Especially the IR Seeker has quite a bit of curvature and
the text is perfectly projected onto it.  Philo used his tool SlicerPro to make
this possible.

You can also see a couple of these sensors used in the building instructions
that are available from the models page: <http://www.hitechnic.com/models>

Just to be clear, when I say {"worked with Philo"} that means I sent him the
list of the sensors and the text that goes onto them and then he did all the
work.  Thank you, Philo!
