I believe John Barnes has already done a first-class job of a remote
control for Legos, though not by modifying an RCX, if memory serves.

We are working on a 916 MHz card for JCX, our replacement for RCX.
It's a bit like putting a V8 in a Volkswagen bug. The 916 MHz will be
ab ad-hoc peer to peer networking option, with a node for the PC too
(any PC with a serial port, and Java support), all coded in Java. We
expect to have the first production JCX systems shipping later this
summer.

| Hello, John Barnes did build a IR to RC and back converter for the RCX, but I thought he said it turned out quite expensive. Now he's working on an own (for the moment) one way RC system capable of driving Lego motors. See a thread of a few months (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)
