RCX) ?


Marco,

I've had limited experience and success using the output of a master RCX to
trigger the input of a slave RCX.  The communication was quite reliable and
there doesn't appear to be any damage to the slave unit, however there were
some side effects on other sensor inputs.  Specifically, a light sensor that
was connected to another input on the slave RCX would jump as much as 60 or 70
points in RAW mode whenever it received a signal from the master RCX.  This
would probably not be an issue if you're using a non-powered (i.e. touch)
sensor on the other sensor inputs of the slave unit.

Good Luck,
Zac Pollock

Well, before I go ahead and try it, I would like to get some feedback on the following (some naive) questions: 1) Is there any risk of damaging the Fiber Optic Light Unit (#6637) if I connect it to a pBrick (RCX, CiberMaster, etc) OUTPUT port ? 2) (...)
