Hi

We just got into RCX. We have been using my Palm III and Visor to control the
RCX.

We have this great idea but need some help.  We have an old Logitech Trackman
remote control mouse.  It uses RF.

The idea is to some how convert the Serial output from the RF mouse to RCX
IR.  We can mount the mouse rcv on the Robot.


I belive this connection is one way  which does have some limiaion.   It is
cheap.  The xmit side has a trackball which could be used to control the 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 send messages out. The adapter can get IR signals and resend by RF
trasmmiters. I have been messing in RF with RCXe for some time.
Any comment?

Hi

I have found the IR in RCX limiting, especially because of its line of sight
problem. I'm interested in developing an RF interface to RCX. Anybody has any
experience, knowledge, suggestions, tips in this area? Any pointers would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
