Take a look at the original reverse engineering of the RCX at

http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/

The best site for the internals of the RCX with pictures....

PS:  You could probably just use wireless serial radio modems for this!
It works as follows:

PC--->serial transmitter/receiver           tower---->serial
transmitter/receiver

Just keep the tower next to the RCX....

going to be pretty (or cheap) though! But I'll try.

First of all, a question -

Does anybody know if the schematics for the RCX and
more importantly the tower are on the net anywhere?
It could save me a lot of time if I could bypass the reverse
engineering phase.

(...) Well, as I imagined the device, it just translates the IR into RF and back. This way you can't only use it between tower and RCX but also in comms between two RCX'es, which is exactly what I want to do. I don't have any experience in (...) (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
