Rob, Yes, the MicroScout needs the light tube. The Scout, on the other hand, should work with the IR tower. As I stated in my previous message, I have absolutly no problems downloading NQC code to my Scout using BricxCC and the IR tower. I think the (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

(...) I think you need to use the USB tower and the light tube. The Scout uses VLL IIRC. -Rob. (23 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

(...) I'm very sorry, I've misinformed you. The set you were referring to has the Scout, the 9754 has the MICRO Scout.

I can get it to work if i hold the blue side of the scout aimed at the tower at about 30 centimeters, with the tower set to short mode. That seems to be the only way to do it, any different and no go. (24 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.scout)
