Hmmm, thats getting pretty close but I guess I'm thinking of for if-then-else logic at least. Or a simple adder. Must be literature on making machines out of simple stuff (non-IC) for adding.

I am trying to find the web page that describes the serial protocol for the IR tower - RCX communications. Preamble code, message codes checksum etc etc. 2400, n, 8 1 etc. Does anyone happen to recall where it is? Thanks JB (25 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
