I have another solution to the IR -RCX range problem if you don't mind running a few wires. When I ran the Stage Crew organization at my local High School, I had a remotely controlled Tilt-pan head for an 8mm video camera suspended over the (...) (27 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: 3 sensors = 8 inputs?!
|

Mark, It has been figured out how to get four touch sensors per input. This gives 12 touch sensors if all three inputs are used. Using this approach, a 16 channel Analog MUX can be hooked up. Sensing the four switch lines using Port A and the Output (...) (27 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Yes! my idea worked! all you need to do is get the gold half-ball that comes in one of the space sets and mount it on top of the IR sensor! Voila, a go-anywhere robot!! (27 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I have an interesting idea. . . What if you were to use the new gold dome that is included with the new space sets as that ball your were talkign about? maybe since it is coated in gold, if could bounce the IR light into the RCX, and it IS a lego (...) (27 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

This is similar to what I have done. My IR tower is on a table, about 2.5 feet off the ground. It faces the center of the room, bouncing off a wall that is about 10-12 feet from the tower. The RCX is lying flat on the top of the robot platform, and (...) (27 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I am surprised at this. With my IR tower set to long range, I can communicate with the RCX in the next room regardless of which way it is facing. I cannot download firmware, but I can control it well enough for the joystick commands to make it (...) (27 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
