 | | Re: how detect other RCX robots with light sensors?
|
| Assuming both RCXs are facing each other, this can be done by using the IR transmitter of the RCX on the detected robot, and a forward pointing light sensor on the detecting robot. Set one robot (the detected robot) to send out constant IR messages. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| For the most part, the differences are in documentation and additional/different pieces, not the RCX hardware itself or the software. The one hardware difference is the lack of an external adapter plug in 1.5 (so, lots more batteries) and I believe (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC
|
| (...) The one-byte messages supported by the RCX are not generally designed to go from the RCX to the PC. They are intended to go from the PC to the RCX, or from one RCX to another. One reason for this is that the original RS-232 IR tower would not (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
