  Re: Spybotics Comms
 
After doing a little more sleuthing, I was able to find out how to process incoming IR and VLL messages. And yes, thankfully, VLL decode is built into the firmware! The following is some SpyBot MindScript code that will handle both incoming VLL and (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  RE: Spybotics To RCX Comm
 
(...) I've got to try BrickCC as well. I'm not surprised at the light detector performance. The light pipe is good, but not that good. It depends on light entering the tube pretty much perpendicular to the end. You would need to have a LOT of light (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Spybotics To RCX Comm
 
It's pretty nice to program my Spybot with BricxCC. It's just like working with an RCX. But I'm having a problem getting a reliable reading from the light sensor. I'm trying to make the spybot follow a line, but unless I have very good lighting, I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Spybotics To RCX Comm
 
(...) MindScript syntax highlighting, improved error reporting (over that provided by ScriptEd) and Spybot support (one talking to the RCX via the USB tower and the other talking to the Spybot via COM1) is even cooler. :-) In case anyone else would (...)

  Re: Spybotics Comms
 
(...) Yes, there's a MindScript "vll" command (for the SpyBot) that works just as described in the Scout SDK. It uses the red LED on the back of the SpyBot to output commands. This same LED is also used when programming the SpyBot, so you have to (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Spybotics To RCX Comm
 
Hi Agents, Just in case this hasn't been mentioned before, it is possible to send an RCX message from a Spybot to an RCX. I cobbled together the following MindScript programs and downloaded them using ScriptEd. Basicly, if you press the spybot (...)

  RE: Specs?
 
Check this msg from Jake McKee: (URL) can find these msgs through a search on LUGNET news. mc. PS: I don't know why ppl ignore the search engines.

  Specs?
 
What are the specs of these units? How much memory do they have in them? Also, is the ROM in a Flash ROM or not? Thanks (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  RE: Programming multiple controllers
 
(...) OK, I'll bite, how does the Spybot get into this state? We've already discussed how to set up a secure link - how do we set up a non-secure link? Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

  Spybotics spotted at Target
 
For those that may be waiting to buy Spybotics at your local store, I saw all 4 sets today at my local Target (Dayton, OH). Also, the local Meijer stores have the "Technic" RC Race Buggy 8475. Andy (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

  Re: SpyBotics Flyer
 
As has been pointed out to me perhaps I should have mentioned one URL that does work, which is: www.spybotics.com However, this is not a support site like the one provided for Mindstorms (www.mindstorms.com). What is confusing here is that the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

  Re: Default Programs
 
It looks like the Spybotic designers strongly focused on the one thing which was appearantly overlooked in the RCX: situational (and peer) awareness. This introduces new concepts like the Here and There and a world of missions and gameplay. Let's (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Controller issues

Once I reestablished the secure channel the manas controller only controls it when (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Controller issues
 
Here are a couple issues regarding my Gigamesh Spybot. I presume it's the same for all of them. 1. The manas controller controller works with the Spybot. That's great. However, it works with the channel set to any of its four positions. That is a (...) (22 years ago, 4-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Interesting Mindscript Bits
 
Here's a few things I've gleaned: Some new opcodes: push n, m // n is ?, m is value to push pop n // n is number of items to pop sound n..ends // define a sound effect tones n, f // n is time, f is frequency? (tone 223 for 10) pauses n // n is time (...) (22 years ago, 4-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
