 | | 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 (...)

|
| (...) 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)

At least for my screwy browser, it displays everything after that as the image file name. -JHK (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic, lugnet.publish)

| 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.
