G'Day If you are willing to use 'non-pure Lego' parts, then Radio Shack has a telephone cord 'detangler' that plugs into standard RJ-11 jacks, has 4 conductors, and 360 degree motion. Works rather well, esp. with some contact enhancer for a cleaner (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Michael, You can program the RCX and CyberMaster with quite many languages (such as Visual J++, Visual C++, Visual Basic) using the spirit.ocx. Also the RCX ControlCenter with NQC is pretty good.

The sensor uses two semiconductor devices (that's as technical as I'll get, hopefully). One of them is light sensing and the other is light producing. The sensor works by sending out some light and then sensing how much of that light is reflected (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
