  Scout third motor microscout Hack
 
I was playing around with my Scout and using a microscout as a third motor using the VLL and fibre optics. It has limited use due to the length restrictions of the fibre optic cable and the microscout motor is not the easiest to use or mount. I have (...)

  RE: Scout connected to Code Pilot with Fiber Optics
 
I have connected both a RCX and a CyberMaster to a CodePilot (and also to a MicroScout). I don't remember if I tried connecting also a Spybotics, but I think it work too. CodePilot accepts VLL codes but only the *Batch* VLL Commands, to make a VLL (...)

  Re: information
 
(...) Look online for Brix Command. You can program both the Scout and the RCX. As for the microscout, you can programthe scout to send VLL (visual light link) messages in power "P" mode. I hope this helps. -Nick (21 years ago, 21-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

  Re: Updated web page with old and new MOCs
 
(...) Hmm,under the PneumADDic the code reads, on the last thumb at the bottom <IMG src="(URL) you forget to put the closing quotation marks. At least for my screwy browser, it displays everything after that as the image file name. -JHK (21 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic, lugnet.publish)

  Updated web page with old and new MOCs
 
Hi all, Its been a long time since I updated my web page, but I finally did it. I've moved all my images to brickshelf, and reorganized things a bit. I hope you enjoy it. Too bad there isn't a lugnet.technic.pneumatics. (URL) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Good news for microscout, scout, and rcx, and sony pocket station owners.
 
(...) Hey, a reply. Nice to see the pocketstation community growing. **warning** if you have to change the micro scouts batterys after downloading a custom p mode app, the app will be lost. (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

  Good news for microscout, scout, and rcx, and sony pocket station owners.
 
I already posted this in lugnet.robotics Maybe i will get a response here. I found a web page that deals with programming the rcx, scout and microscout in a very uncommon way. Go this site: (URL) under the ¡ SONY Pocket Station ‚Æ‹Y‚ê‚é section, (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

  SpyVLL was released
 
Hi, the VLL freaks. I released a programming tool named "SpyVLL", which program the MicroSCOUT via the Spybotics. Neither RIS2.0 nor your own made hardware isn't required.

  Microscout and IR
 
I was reading stuff about the Microscout that said it's light sensor would not pick up IR light; however, I decided to try it out for myself. Using mode 3 (as the easiest one to check), I started it running, and then pointed the remote from my DVD (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)
 
  Re: Microscout assembly?

  Re: Microscout assembly?
 
The only thing that comes to mind is that the metal strips are acting like brushes to connect the power to the commutator of the motor. I opened one of mine and fear restrained me from entering too far. The battery connections are direct to the PC (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout)
 
  Microscout assembly?
 
One day, while there was nothing to do, I took apart my Microscout (came with the R2D2 droid development kit, or whatever). I had no idea how the motor assembly was connected to the rest of the unit, so this was probably a bad idea. Anyway, I took (...)

  The MicroScout's Script mode is VERY disapointing...
 
I wrote a very small message to VLL converter with the Scout so that I could play around with my 3 MicroScouts. The direct actions are useful but the script mode is pointless. WHY O WHY did LEGO make it play a stupid song BEFORE each motor action??? (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.vll)
