Nemo,


So, why not tell the nxt to use an 'old rcx motor' block (or whatever it is
called) and use that to send information down one of the nxt wires, into a
conversion wire, into a port on the rcx.  Then the nxt could tell the rcx what
to do.

I think this is possible, and would work, at least as well as it did
on the RCX.

A simple conversion cable could be connected to both.  I believe the
wires that would be connected would act just like connecting two RCXs
together.

So, of the six wires in the NXT cable, two are (more or less) exactly
the same as in the RCX,.  Those are the two that are connected in the
conversion cable.

(...) So, I'm wondering about the NXT's ability to command the RCX. How possible is the following: I know that I can hook up motors to my RCX sensor ports and vice versa. They might not work doing anything really practical but they can be hooked up. (...) (17 years ago, 12-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
