 | | Fibre Optic Question —Craig Livingston
|
| | | Can anybody tell me the list of Technic Sets that had the fibre optic system in them? Can you buy just the fibre optic system anywhere? I am not usually a Technic person, but I have some rather cool ideas for the use of this system and would like a (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | (...) Oh yeah, as a continuation, on Baylit there is a fibre optic block along with some tubing, is this all that is needed to experiment with this system? (i.e. what exactly does this system involve?) Thanks (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | (...) As far as I know, the only sets with them are the 8480 space shuttle and 8456 fiber-optic multi set. You need to provide two things for the fiber-optics to work. First is power to the fiberoptic module, and the second is a rotation source (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | | | | (...) A few notes and some opinions on the sets mentioned... Even though it's not a Technic set, the 6979 would probably be a good cheap choice for a fiber optic unit to experiment with, as it comes with a battery box, micro motor and needed wiring. (...)

| | | | | | (...) One thing to be aware of, Craig. Only one of the eight fibers is lit at any one time - thus the need for a "rotation" source. This was a bit misleading when pictured on the LEGO brochures and boxes. Wayne (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | I think the cheapest set to get the fiber optic kit is the Extreme Creature for Mindstorms. However, as somebody mentionned, you won't get the power source and the motor to rotate it. If you already have a technic motor, you can go ahead and buy the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | Well, I don't mean to annoy anyone and post marketing spam, but if you goto lugnet.buy-sell-trade newsgroup and look for Etys Dya Shopping, you might be able to pick up an 8456 from them. But you'd better hurry!! Deals like those on Etys' site don't (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
