 | | IR to FM
|
| Hello all! As I am constructing an RC guided Lego Car (No, I don't want to buy a 5600. I want to create it all out of individual Lego bricks.), I thought it must be able to make an IR to FM link, like those little things you see to transmit IR (...) (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I realize that IR won't allow the car to go very far from the controller, but I'll live with (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Well, I know a little about the format of Radio control signals of the kind you get in RC planes and cars. There is a signal pattern (which can be either FM or AM depending on the waveband of the radio) that represents a train of pulses that (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I already got a John Barnes style Servo commander, But I haven't used it yet due to a lack of time. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I imagined more of the RCX just outputting IR signals to an apparatus that translates them to FM. These (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)
