The IR interface is one way to establish a "connection" via messages between 2
RCXs and it works fine if both of the RCXs will receive a message - directly or
by multiple reflections within the room. However, it is a slow communication.
My problem now: the RCXs are arranged in a construction where no (or no
reliable) IR link can be set up.
A solutuion could be to use an output at the transmitting RCX and an input at
the reveiving RCX.
But I must admit that I am not feeling very comfortable, putting a voltage to
an input and I don't want to try this out and look if it works. By the way, my
nephew hooked up a motor to a sensor input (defined as light sensor) and
destroyed the input just when I had Mindstorms for 3 days ...
Has anyone experience in this matter or can provide an electronic diagram that
explains what I will have to do?
Thanks a lot.

| (...) Hook up the output of RCX.A to the Input of RCX.B. Set the RCX.B's input to Touch. Now toggle the RCX.A's output from OFF and float. This will turn the ground 'short' on and off and work Exactly like a switch. No power runs though the Input (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
