I have one of each RCX (1.0, 1.5 , 2.0) and have tested the signals using a palm app called IRMonitor with little or no difference between the three. This is by no means a "labratory test". Haveyou noticed this with more than one brick? For the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Actually I've noticed that the 2.0 brick's IR capabilities don't seem to be as strong as the 1.0/1.5 bricks. I don't know why this would be, if something got changed in the hardware? It isn't an issue for most things, but if you want bricks (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)
