(...) It's a kit after all... (When you build one of these, it's your responsibility to mail a royalty to these guys. ha ha) The video clip of this robot is very cool (www.charmedlabs.com...nomic.wmv) Andy (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) That's a good idea!! This would require two wagons for balancing: one going up while the other is going down. Alas!! I will never have enough bricks to build the hill!! :o( (...) No there is no mechanism to maintain the cable tension. I tought (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) The biggest problems I see with this are that the boards aren't protected. The odd thing is that they're not mentioning the extra battery capacity as an improvement over the RCX. I thought it would be a big problem to drop from 3AA to 2AA in (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

These guys have a robot controller that replaces the RCX that uses the gameboy as the main processor www.charmedlabs.com I'm thinking on getting one. I called them yesterday. Very nice guys. It won't ship until the end of June though :( Andy (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Chris- What a cool project! Looks like inspiration to build a funicular (the same thing but intended to go up and down hills). Of course, to do that (I'm always thinking in LTC display mode) requires a hill to go with it. I didn't see whether (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) 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)

(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 10-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)
