Hi everyone,
I just got back from Brickfest in Portland and was lucky enough to see the

elements which can be used with it.

The new Li-Po battery, on the other hand, could be quite useful.....

Thanks for the feedback!
Im not surprised the power level is not continuous, its a digital signal not
analogue! iirc its 2 bytes of data, thats the mode and data for both channels in
combo mode. (There is a toggle setting in one of the modes I suspect that sets
continuous output) I am however surprised at the +1 increment thing using the PF
protocol in combo mode would send a power level... maybe its another mode, I
dont recal them all at present...
Any news on wether the charger is the same as the NXT Battery charger? isn’t
that a 10V DC also? (700mA??) Im really tempted by a battery but the price is a
shock!
I’m also wondering (If anyone knows!) if the IR receiver has been fixed, I
believe there was a firmware error in the first batch...(will that affect this
remote?)
Regards
Mike
