So, that confirms, more or less, Jake McKee's msg: "EEPROM: There is a total of 4k available.

WOW! :) Thank you very much Mark ! Cool, it's all true then :) The usable firmware VLL input together with RCX/Scout IR messages output and the Manas/Spybot IR input.

The following is some SpyBot MindScript code that will handle both incoming VLL and (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

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)
