    Re: Spybotics - A great disappointment —David Koudys
   (...) Thanks for the work, Dave! Does this mean that I will be able to program Spybotics thru the USB (RIS 2.0) tower, instead of the serial tower that comes with Spybotics while using NQC? Dave K. (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: Spybotics - A great disappointment —Dave Baum
   (...) Spybotics doesn't really have a tower, just a cable with a serial connector on one end and led/phototransistor on the other (which snaps into the back of the spybotics brick). It transmits using visible light, not IR (and I don't think it has (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        RE: Spybotics - A great disappointment —Marco Correia
   Hi :) (...) So, a bit like MicroScout, it's programmed through the inbuilt LightSensor, right ? Can you see if it uses a VLL protocol like CodePilot/MicroScout ? ...that way, any Scout/RCX/CyberMaster could download VLL snipets to it. One important (...)

        Re: Spybotics - A great disappointment —Dave Baum
   (...) It is programmed using visible light, but the commands are very different from CodePilot/MicroScout. The protocol itself is just 4800bps NRZ turned into light. The packets have a simple format (preable, data bytes, checksum). The commands in (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        RE: Spybotics - A great disappointment —Marco Correia
   (...) So, in theory, comms between CyberMaster/RCX/Scout and Spybotics is possible, provided that a fiber optic is used and an emulator is coded, although, at 4800bps I don't know if that's feasible with standard firmware and NQC.

        RE: Spybotics - A great disappointment —Marco Correia
   (...) From what Jake said at lugnet.lego.direct and from what you say above, I don't understand if IR or Visible Light (or both !?!?) are used to download programs to the Spybot. About VLL, from Jake McKee: (...) That's a *very good* thing, *both* (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
