Dear Juergen, As a response to the question on your webpage, I've tried configuration 4 of the legusbtower (legusbtower + uhci + nqc).

There are devices sold by Radio Shack/Future Shop/etc called (i think) "remote extenders". Basically, they have 2 pieces. 1 is an infrared receiver and radio transmitter, and the other is a radio reciever and ir transmitter. I think they are one-way (...)

Ben I recommend you read the Howto from the sourceforge docs section, or even better buy the Extreme Mindstorms book (Extreme Mindstorms; D. Baum, M. Gasperi, R. Hempel, L. Villa; Apress; ISBN: 1893115844 ) . Both give a good explanation of legOS. (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

There was a very undetcible component-side solder bridge between pins 2 and 3 of RP4.

Best source is other Mindstorms Sets - preferrably heavily discounted. Older RIS sets have gone in chain stores for as low as $69. Expansion sets are available through a range of places online as closeouts at varying discounts. CompUSA and BestBuy (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, Thanks for your reply. RP4 has the part # 88102G, and adjacent pairs of pins have resistance of 1k (ie, 4 discrete resistors). Ok, Tell me if this sounds really strange... R15 is installed, but tested at about 1k ohms, not 47k. I remove the (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
