Has anyone tried to control the RCX sensors with NBC? I have the converter
cable and hooked up my RCX light sensor, but only got back readings of 53
(percent full scale). I used the NBC SetSensorLight command which should set
the sensor to turn on the LED, but it never came on. Obviously, there are
hardware differences that weren't taken care of by the little black box on
the cable which must only do a wire re-mapping.

I didn't spend a lot of time with the RCX, so I'm unfamiliar with the
hardware signals for these sensors. I'm going to dig into it, but I was
hoping someone could save me some time.

OK, I answered my own question. I just needed to set the sensor type to: IN_TYPE_LIGHT_INACTIVE for RCX light sensor with the LED ON IN_TYPE_REFLECTION for RCX light sensor with the LED OFF (18 years ago, 2-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
