  Re: Communicating between two RCX'es with cable
 
Hi, (...) Because I want the IR ports free to use along with proximity sensors. (...) Well, if it is not too much to ask... :-) But nevertheless, LejOS should support some low level output handling on A-C before I could use it...

  Re: Communicating between two RCX'es with cable
 
(...) Why do you want to communicate with a cable when you can use IR transmission ? I think this IR transmission very easy to use and in this case you could use 6 sensors and 6 motors together. May be the use of LejOS is the reason....(I don' t (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) I thought that the little doohickey that goes across the motor inputs on the electric motor in the housing was a diode--don't quite remember where i picked up that idea, but a 'noise reducing' thing makes more sense. Anyway, i'll go get a (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: DCC for the RCX
 
(...) When you say LEGO diodes, are you sure you aren't referring to the thermistor that some DCC mods have you remove? Maybe I'm confused of course... whose conversion instructions did you follow? (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

Another clue is there's no band on one end. Could be one of those "free to good (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: DCC for the RCX
 
Hi Dryden, DCC sends information to the decoders by flipping the polarity of the power supply in a specific timing sequence. So, it's not like the X-10 protocol. To get more power to run more locomotives, you need something called a DCC booster. The (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

(...) Hey Mark, I posted earlier in a new thread praising the greatness of this, but I have a few additional questions that I thought I'd just ad to this thread-- I converted 3 LEGO motors with the micro-controller, and now have 3 diodes (at least, (...)
