Hi!

Does anyone know if it is possible to have to RCXs communicate by connecting
the motor outputs of one to the sensor inputs to the other?  I have a slight
feeling this could burn things due to the high-voltage (relatively) output of
the RCX motor outputs.

But it would allow elegant master-slave chains for larger constructions.

Hi, Jakob, It is possible and discussed here several times. Have a look at this : (URL) ;-) Why not use the search button ? ;-) (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Jakob, Search for "Electrical Data Link between 2 RCXs" thread on lugnet.robotics.rcx.ncq and various threads on lugnet.robotics ((URL) such as "CM-RCX" and more. I'm finishing up a *NQC* input/output VLL lib that supports direct electrical (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) There's a couple of other ways to do it (besides the off / float mentioned by others): 1. Have the motor off RCX1 drive a rotation sensor on RCX2. Requires more space & parts. 2. Use LNP (infra-red communication). But requires that RCXs are in (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
