(...) Yes. Of course. Those are the best ones. LED's are basically just Diodes that make light. So you can "Twist" two LED's together to get one on each polarity.

In theory it's possible, provided that: [1] The optical frequency matches adequately (anyone know?)

Sorry, Dean - now I got your point. There is indeed no way to read the contents of the datalog. What about storing the data (e.g. for path information, maps, etc.) into an ARRAY instead of the datalog? With RIS2.0 and the latest NQC version you have (...)
