Last year I was thinking about the fact that the motor outputs send pulses of
current. So, I was wondering if the {input} ports were polled fast enough to
sense this. The idea was you could hook up a motor output from one RCX to an
input port of a second RCX, creating a physical link between them for
communication. This would be advantagous in situations where the two RCXs' IR
ports can't "see" each other.


Although these pictures come from as imulator, they are quiet like you
probably have seen on the scope, see ..

Also this page might be of interest, describing both sensor and motor
terminals:

I'd like to share two thoughts with you all. They involve the RCX and doing things with it that I'm sure the designers never intended (or thought possible). Oh, if you're reading this in the .trains newsgroup, you can skip over the first thought (...) (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.trains, FTX)
