The packet headers on the Cybermaster and the RCX are different.
The RCX packet header in both directions (to and from host computer) :
55 ff 00 - (3 bytes)
The Cybermaster packet header when sending from host computer to CM:
fe 00 00 ff - (4 bytes)
The Cybermaster packet header when sending (a reply) from the CM to the
host computer:
ff - (1 byte)
All packet headers are followed by the same type of packets, which look
like this:
D1 ~D1 D2 ~D2 ... Dn ~Dn C ~C
where D1...Dn are the message body, and C = D1 + D2 + ... Dn.
If you send a packed like this to the Cybermaster,
fe 00 00 ff 10 ef 10 ef
you should get the following response:
ff ef 10 ef 10
See here for a commented example "conversation" session between the CM and
a PC.

See here for Kekoa's excellent description of the RCX/CM protocol:
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/
NB: You should be aware that the hardware layer and serial protocol is also
somewhat different between the RCX and the Cybermaster.

| HI I still have problems programming my Cybermaster. I try to send to the tower (with the Java Programm of Dario Laverde) 55 ff 00 10 ~10 10 ~10 -> alive? And I only recieve 00 00 as an answer. Are the opcodes ((URL) for the cybermaster different is (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
