Search (URL) page for a link related to DOS comms with CyberMaster. Bert van Dam had (still has?) somewhere in his site a source code of a QBasic program for DOS that he used for CM comms in DOS. It worked, I myself used it with an old i8086 (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Don't try this at home kids !!!...!!! NO ! This can't work !! The printerport is as parallel port and not a serial port. The availablity of the IR-tower is checked by using the serial handshake line. This can't work with printerport ! (...) I (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I agree ! (...) How depressing. :-( (...) Of course ! But, it's possible to drive more then one of these sharps with one output. And shouldn't it be possible (without large effort) to use the input-power to multiplex some of the GP2D12 ? (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Cybermaster: Cannot receive though sending works (w/o sprit.ocx)
|

Hi, I've written a small Visual Basic program so I can use Cybermaster under Windows 3.1x. (So I cannot use spirit.ocx.) Sending commands works (motor on/off, sound, etc.). But I don't get any echo. I cannot get any sensor data, and I can't see if (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I think it could probably work with the printr port. But what I would do is get a serial to printer port adapter or buy another wire which ever is cheapest. I have a wire that runs out the serial port with a 25 pin(i think) connection then an (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, I asked this problem a few weeks (or months??? ... I don't know a what time ...) but nobody could help. I got the same following answer ".... the sensor takes 35 mA and this is to much for the RCX ..." but I couldn't understand this at this (...)

(...) Hi Greg, I'm not sure if the RCX IR Tower is the same than the Scout Tower, but I guess it's so. You can't use the printer port (LPT) for the tower. You have to use a serial port (COM1, COM2, ..). If you're not sure if you've got the right (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Eep!!! Not PRINTER port but the SERIAL port. You'll damage your Port and maybe the IR tower as well! Try it in the SERIAL port and it will work much better. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
