Well, as I think you know, it's already possible with standard RCX2 firmware
to control Manas and SPybotics. :)

That looks like another IR LEGO set using the same Manas/Spybotics IR
protocol.
So, in theory, it will be possible to control it, making a very good
addition to someone
who has already the two Manas units, making 3 IR controllable slaves,
through RCX, each with it's IR channel.

I'll try checking that at home, too.
Q: Someone bought a #4589 already ?
This would confirm if it's really a IR set.

| Do any of the "third party" firmware options for the RCX allow one to control what is sent through the H8 serial port? If so, then it should be possible to use an RCX to send/receive any 38KHz IR signal falling within the bps/baud/processing limits (...) (22 years ago, 26-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
