Sounds reaaly cool.
How do you communicate with the CyberMaster birck?
I have a RIS, but want to get a CyberMaster ro 'replace' the prick because I
want to control the robot remotely using RF. What exactly is the difference
between
communicating with the 2 bricks? I am intending to use the sources of SUN's
JavaOne demo
where they controlled a RCX with Java, but I want to use the CyberMaster brick
instead.
regards,
Edgar Vonk

| IIRC, the Java demo was made for multiple RCXes in a battle situatuion. If you are just going to control the Cybermaster, not many of them, then I would use something else. Andy (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
