Thanks Dean, where did you get your info - have you an inside source? Or would you have to kill me if you told me??? I was kind of hoping that the next RCX would be a bit smaller. Some nice Lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Some more I/O. More (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Electrical Data Link between 2 RCXs
|

The following describes an "electrical data link" (one direction) between 2 RCXs (see also my subject "Connecting 2 RCXs"). The task is that one RCX sends a number (e.g. a status) to another RCX via a cable. The IR link cannot be used because they (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi Does anyone know when the RIS 2.0 will be released or what it will contain or any other info and snippets of anything. I'd even settle for hearsay I'm getting that desperate for info. Will it be out for Christmas is the big Q? Thanks Mike (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Sorry about that, Jonathan.
