Pardon my newbieness.  This is my first post here and I'm still saving
up to buy a MindStorms set.  I was wondering if the IR port on the RCX
can be used to determine if it's night or day out without using the
light sensor.  Are IR readings of "nothing" any higher or lower in the
dark than they are in the light?

I though the RCX had a internal clock.
I don't have a RCX so I can not tell. The CyberMaster doesn't.

   Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it very well.  I don't necessarily
need a clock to tell the time.  What I want to do is turn on a light
based on a reading from the IR port.  Is this possible without using
the light sensor?

Thanks,
Daniel.
