I was fortunate enough to find 4 LEGO compatible 4.5 volt programmable bricks on
Facebook Buy and Sell
I uploaded a few pictures here--
https://flic.kr/s/aHskKcnWEa
and I made a little video (with all the Dave tangents I could muster) here--
https://youtu.be/7NECA1q9-gU
I know I’m posting to what some would say is a very obscure site these
days(LUGNET) about a very obscure finding (4.5 volt programmable brick) to a
very defunct LEGO Technic theme (4.5 volt), but there will be a few of us ‘old
timers’ that may appreciate this.
As well, in my sleuthing about for information, I haven’t, as yet, found ANY
information about these programmable bricks on these here internets.
At all.
That I find to be surprising.
The information I do have--
The bricks themselves are labelled ‘ProCom SEQ’ and I believe it was a non-lego
precursor to LEGO set 1093/9750--
https://guide.lugnet.com/set/1093
With the added bonus that you didn’t need a computer attached to the
controller--it was all in the brick
After I took apart one of them, I found out that Paul R Spurgeon made these
programmable bricks. Did a quick LUGNET serch, to no avail, then went to
Facebook. Found out that there is a Paul Spurgeon that worked for our favourite
company from 2000 - 2004 in the robotics development department, and he’s from
the UK (and so are these bricks) and deduced that he’s the gentleman that I’m
probably looking for to get more information on these devices.
But I’m posting here anyway.
If ANYONE at all has a manual or a ‘quick guide’ or any information on these
ProCom SEQ bricks, I would appreciate a forward to me, or a link to something.
I love me a good mystery, and I’ve been having fun trying to ascertain how these
things work, but a guide would be so much more helpful.
Anyway, here for your edification and historical trackability.
