Eric, this was the approach I was thinking of. This
way all the 'regular' functions, software, RcxCC etc
would continue to work.
Limitations: Speed is the same..
Other approaches would require deep hacking, I believe.
I envisioned two devices:
1. fit over the 'front' of the Rcx, plugging into
output B for power, and hanging over the IR
transmitter and receiver.
2. Slipped over the IR Tower in a similar fashion
and probably had its own battery.
900Mhz would be Nice. Full duplex is not necessary, I
believe. AT the slow data rate there could probably be simple
ON-OFF keying / envelope detect. Unless you wanted
1/2 mile range!
In Your other spare time.... :-)

| (...) Yep! I am going to make the RF/IR adapter plug in front of the RCX. And make my RF tower to replace the IR tower. I know the IR carries on 38.5KHz. Does it mean both transmt/receive signals working in the same 38.5KHz? If so, how can I solve (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| Hi! I also try to use RF to replace IR communication. My idea, to create a RF/IR two way adapter and to make an RF tower connected with PC. The adapter taped with RCX can receive RF signals from PC and pass to RCX by using IR emitter. And if RCX (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
