Hello, My cybermaster (the tower) has two crystals 26.540MHz and 26.995MHz. Is your the same? Anybody got crystals with other frequencies? Lars Gertsen - Denmark (...) (25 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

I tried it with a motor that worked using a battery box, but I will check that again to be sure. I just had another idea, I will use the light elemement to see if there is any power coming from the C2. I may have to pursue some kind of compensation (...)

Hi, I have purchased several kits on e-bay recently and in two of them the motors were jammed. In both cases the seller replaced them (they were supposed to be new kits). Can you turn the motor spindle by hand? If not, it is jammed and that is the (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

(...) And it will be necessary to change the CyberMasters to use different radio frequencies, then. Otherwise when PC try polling, everybody will respond at the same time. Cheers, Hao-yang Wang (25 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

Without picking up the soldering iron and modifying its frequency, talking to multiple CyberMasters on the same frequency is, I guess, very similar to talking to multiple RCXs through IR. When the PC sends out a command through the tower, every (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)
