(...) This portion of the Spybot NQC API is under substantial revision... :-) I based the constants on those found in Spybot.h which are apparently just plain wrong. The current version of my spy.nqh file has #define SERIAL_CHANNEL_HIGH_POWER 0 (...) (21 years ago, 7-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Yes, there are multiple IR emitters. Two in front at nearly 90 degree angles, one in back, and a high-power one pointing up. Turns out my camera was only picking up the high-power emitter. I tried again with a different camera (the Vision (...) (21 years ago, 7-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) I think these emitters are different wavelength, 940nm for the pointing up one, 880nm for the others. 940nm radiation is very close to red wavelength range and is easily seen by cameras CCD, even though they generally include an IR filter to (...)

(...) How *does* the Spybot know the orientation (the ROM SDK calls it "aspect") of another Spybot? My (casual) observations indicate that all three emitters are on simultaneously and synchronously. How does the observing Spybot identify which one (...) (21 years ago, 8-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

... Just reading an old post and saw my mistake: of course 880 nm is closer to red (650nm) than 940nm !!! Here is the correct text I should have sent : "I think these emitters are different wavelength, 880nm for the pointing up one, 940nm for the (...)
