| Hello everyone, WIRRL stands for "Wireless Infra-Red Radio Link". Creating each leg of the RF link independantly isn't really a problem (once you have a reliable 38kHz IR carrier wave). The problem is eliminating link feedback by controlling the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| I'm looking for an RF solution for PC-RCX communication as well, been thinking along very much the same lines as Rob seems to have so far, I too was pondering how to deal with TX/RX switching (though I've not got as far as building a circuit, and (...)

| Replying to myself... I dismissed commercial solutions (proper radio modems) because they all looked too expensive. But I've found a beauty: (URL) RS232 @ 38.4Kb full duplex, 15Kbit rf, integral antenna, just under £30 (~$50) each for single units. (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

|
| To those interested, I've made a new schematic (WIRRL Rev. 2a) using a better TX/RX pair (Linx LC Series) and I think I've found a possible better solution for handling flow of data. This new diagram eliminates three transistors and replaces the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
