Just program the scouts to read simple 1-byte messages sent from the RCX - use the top two bits to select which Scout you are talking (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

For instance, I want to have 1 RCX control the opening and (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | (...) You should be able to get 3 sensors to control 3 motors like this: Sensor A not pushed = forward Sensor A pushed = reverse Sensor B pushed and not C = Motor 1 Sensor C pushed and not B = Motor 2 Sensor B and C pushed = Motor 3 -Kyle (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | By making a good programming you can control lots of functions with one touch sensor, wich would be complicated but it's possible. I have tried using two touch sensors to control motors, let's say you press the sensor once for motor A, twice for B, (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, with three touch sensors, you can have (at best) only 8 possibilities at any instant - but with even only one touch sensor, you can input any conceivable command if you have enough time. (Imagine if you entered your commands in morse (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
