(...) I was thinking of switching to radio control. From what I've read regarding IR systems, it should be straight forward to to modify LEGO IR transmitters and receivers to work with small radio modules. Converting them to transmit the unmodulated (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I agree with you in all points. But if I see that also you are thinking that capped cylinders are useful maybe there is somebody out who can write a prog for that. I have tried something similar in the past and was not very happy with the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Even if it's a different firmware version of the IR link that does not have a timeout feature - that would be an intersting stop-gap. Ralph (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think I can follow your thoughts. Have you tried that (48/1-8tdisc) already in some items with different curvatures? If yes and you have found out that this can also be used without dramatically mathematics (I prefer to use triangles so I (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The nice thing is that the IRLink is a module by itself and there is nothing preventing LEGO from making a module that accepts radio signals in the future. Probably, I'd end up suggesting Bluetooth or Zigbee over Wifi, or even a proprietary (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You are right, but there are only three lines of code (easily created with MLCad) that would be substituted with such a new primitive. I think it is not worth. cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I would use the cylinder as model, with the cap at Y=0 on top and an edge at bottom. But I somehow agree with Steve Bliss that it may be overkill if we decline capped cylinder in all angles... Philo (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
