Hi,

Now, I was wondering if it would be possible somehow to
communicate between two RCX'es by cable - one end attached
to, say, A on the first RCX and the other end attached to,
say, 1 on the other RCX.
Why do you want to communicate with a cable when you can use IR transmission ?
Because I want the IR ports free to use along with proximity
sensors.

I think a simple electronic circuit between one output and one input should be
the answer to your question.It would contains two resistances and one
opto-electronic but it needs soldering.
The opto-electronic act as a electric relay but is faster.
If you are really interested I can mail you the circuit schematic.
Well, if it is not too much to ask... :-)
But nevertheless, LejOS should support some low level output
handling on A-C before I could use it...

Ok I will try to make it this week.
You should find it soon on my site:

This kind of cable would be useful to pilot 2 RCX with the VISION COMMAND.
