Would it be possible to connect a wire from a sensor port on one brick to a
sensor port on another brick, and by changing the sensor mode on brick 1,
have brick 2 detect this?

Well, with two RCX's it should work, but then, between RCX's there's the IR
port comms.

The CM doesn't work with active sensors, so, this wouldn't work from the
CyberMaster side.

That's MHO.

IE, what sort of things is the sensor port outputing when it's expecting a
light sensor attached to it, vs. if it expects to have a touch sensor? In
the program, if using NQC, we can change how a sensor port is setup up with
a simple command.

This is what it's used to turn the LightSensor led ON/OFF, by changing
between sensor modes. This technic is used also by the VLL lib to *output*
VLL codes through a IN port.

I don't know if it's possible to do this using direct wiring:

              ,--IN port
RCX IN port =<   CyberMaster
              '--OUT port

Of course, I havn't tried this out, and maybe someone's already done this.

me neither :)) ...still waiting for the RCX 1.0 bricko

Hiya :) Well, I'm still waiting for the RCX... it's supposed to arrive in 4 weeks :/ Anyway, these are the things I got so far: 1) It's possible to use the OUTport->INport direct electrical connection *IF* one uses the Off() and Float() commands to (...)
