Is it possible to interface a cybermaster and an RCX without the use of a
PC, also without using up all sensor and motor ports?

Sincerely,
Morten H Pedersen


It might be theoretically possible to use one RCX sensor port for control
of the cybermaster - and using the one motor and one sensor port on the
cybermaster.

A few multiplexing designs I've seen use switching between passive and
active sensor to signal. With appropriate filters - this could be used to
control the Cybermaster, and receive feedback.

The alternatives could be to use two light sensors, and a lamp. The lamp
would be on the Cybermaster output, one light sensor its input, and the
RCX could switch between modes, activating the LED beside the sensor on a
light sensor. There may be a way to acheive this using the RCX's infrared
ports.

Anyway - I would love to hear from anyone who has implemented these.

(...) Yes, I also hoped for some ready made NQC library e.g., since I saw someone was working on that once (around 2001 in one of these newsgroups) Morten (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) This might be old news, but I just tried it anyway... You can connect an RCX motor port to a CyberMaster sensor port and vice versa and get tri-state info. You can distinguish between the motor floating, off, and one of forward or reverse (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
