Hello,

I have two RCX bricks and would like them to co-operate without using the
IR-Port. Is it possible to communicate by attaching a motor port of the
first RCX to a sensor port of the second? As far as I know the motors work
on 9V and the sensors on 5V, but maybe it is possible by setting the motor
on low power?

  Actually, the sensors run on 9V too.

  Why would you not want to use the IR port to get them to cooperate?
The "message" system built into them makes this the IDEAL way to communicate,
expecially since you won't be tying up a sensor input or a motor output
either.


curious,

(...) For example if your RCXs are facing opposite direction or if there is a door between them, etc. etc. In such case a wire would be better than IR. Ciao. Marco. (25 years ago, 3-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
