(...) I think it's theoretically possible to communicate an 8 state signal from the RCX to the Cybermaster's passive sensor port. The passive sensor port measures resistance as well as using a switch - the 3 switches in the cybermaster set have (...) (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)

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 (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|

Hi, That's odd. I upgraded mine from 1.0 straight to 2.0, and I only paid for the shipping. I did not order online, but on the phone. As far as choosing between Robolab and the RIS software, it depends upon the age and motivation of the child. (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
