Yes, it could be that part of the communication that breaks down. I've
used batteries so far, but am thinking of switching to rechargable
batteries (is that what you call accumulators?) when I start using it
a bit more. We've had a discussion about batteries and rechargable
batteries in the cybermaster and the problems I've had with low
batteries before: http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=8277&t=i&v=a

The conclusion there was that you could use rechargable batteries with
your cybermaster without problem. (Anders Isaksson reports using them
without problems.) The problem I had when low on batteries wasn't the
same as what you have, though. My cybermaster would download okay,
(most of the time...) but would completely refuse to _run_
programs. Perhaps downloading would have failed for me at larger
distances, too.

Oh, did you try recharging the batteries in your cybermaster, then? :)

Johannes.

I'm using accumulators (you called rechargable batteries) because a lot of
toys are using mignon batteries and so I have about 20 rechargable batteries
and a processor charger for loading these in a short time...
The problem of this rechargable batteries is that this batteries have a
voltage of about 1.25 V. Normal batteries have a voltage of 1.5 V. In the
cybermaster are used 6 batteries (=> 6 x 1.5 V = 9 V). If I use rechargable
batteries so the Voltage is very low (=> 6 x 1.25 V = 7.5 V).
I have no problems in running downloadet programms but in connection to PC...
