On that LugNet page I found a link to Ben Jackson's page where he described
his implementation of VLL from legOS:
http://www.ben.com/LEGO/rcx/vll.html
On THAT page I found a link to a Jin Sato page where he described Shigeru
Makino's implementation in NQC:
http://www.mi-ra-i.com/JinSato/MindStorms/DDK/vll-e.html
My (untested) idea in this arena is to use the fiber optic assembly to
generate the VLL code instead of the LED in the light sensor:
http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=10810
The advantage I originally contemplated was being able to address up to
eight Micro Scouts, but after reading Ben's page it appears that the light
sensor may have circuitry in it that makes it hard to send the VLL code very
quickly.
I'd be surprised if the fiber optic assembly has this circuitry in it.
Also, Ben mentions that the light sensor LED is very dim. Not a problem
with the FOA!
