Hi Chris,

Have you tried placing one eye piece of a toy binocular in front of the
RCX IR port but make sure you turn it around, big lens facing RCX -
little lens facing target? This is a trick I used to do to make an IR
remote change the channel of my neibours TV (50m away).

You can even use an NXT with a www.mindsensors.com sensor which works in
RoboLab to communicate NXT-RCX via IR

Excellent idea, except I don't actually know which brick you're talking
about. Picture/order code anyone?  If you're talking about those things
that go over the lego lights and make them stupidly intense, I could
reverse that.  Hmm.

BTW - It now has its own website http://cjsoftuk.dyndns.org/LTOAB/

The code is out of date though!  Will update soon.

Chris

(...) I now have one high power TX brick, which works very well now that I've fitted it with a not quite central muzzle. This means that IR can still get in and out (somewhat), but it is very concentrated IR! Long range + Muzzle works accurately (...) (18 years ago, 4-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)
