Hi,
I'm putting together the parts for my RIS2.0 set in order to sell the • set,
but I can't find the fiber optics cable... I might have thrown it away by
accident....

Anyway, I've looked on the CD and in the instructions and I can't seem to
find the cable being used for anything.... is that right?

Also, how long is it?
Is it like in this picture - about 12 or 12.5 studs long? (Apparently one • of
the parts in the spybotics sets also looks like this)

Peeron's inventory says it is 25L though (= 25 studs long?)

Thanks,

There are some way of reponse :

- It's include in several box of spybotic
- Lego says :
*WDoes the Micro Scout read IR transmissions?*
The Micro Scout reads LIGHT transmissions rather than Infrared (IR)
transmissions.
(in http://mindstorms.lego.com/support/en/dsdk.asp page)

So perhaps you can program micro scout by Mindstorms tower. This tower
have a light and you can choose to use IR or light in brickCC program

Hi,
Thanks for that reply. If the fiber optics cable in the spybotics set have
an identical length to the RIS2.0 one then it seems Peeron's inventory for
RIS2.0 is wrong. (It isn't 25L [25 studs long])
I thought that if the fiber optics cable was used for the micro scout set
then it should be in the micro scout sets (not the RIS 2.0 set) - or at
least there could be instructions that say what the part is doing in the RIS
2.0 set.
Assuming that it is about 12 studs long, like the spybotics long fiber optic
cables, it should be quite easy for me to buy that part on Bricklink....
even though I still don't know what the part is for...

(...) USB tower is in the in the mindstorms ! And other functionnalities can be found ! Light transmission is something usefull in some way (...) Ask to LEGO :) nanobapt (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
