 | | RCX & Cybermaster —Chris Fenter
| | | | Has anyone tried (successfully, or not...) to create working models or systems using both of these items together? I'm guessing that I could use a mechanical feedback circuit (like 8868 alt. model / 8479) to trigger the RCX from the actions of the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Just as a side question; can anyone tell me what the Cybermaster unit was like? What did it look like, and what kinds of input/output ports did it have? What pieces (in general) did the set come with? Thanks... -Gaurav Thakur, raving madman (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | (...) The Cybermaster is a pretty big unit. It's turquoise, and the same width & depth as an RCX, but about 2/3 longer. I only just bought the Cybermaster (£50 at amazon.co.uk - bargain!), and I didn't really know what to expect - Fyi, the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Hi Chris, Do a search for "CM-RCX Comm" thread, in lugnet.robotics :) That's (still) my main current project. It works. It's possible to make a CM and a RCX communicate with each other through "eletric" (or light but I didn't test the input through (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) Thx, Marco. I'm investigating! btw, Do you mean that they communicate through a standard lead attached to sensor inputs, say, or some other electrical connection? Interesting that the CM can't communicate at speed, but the MS & CP will. I'd (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Yep, besides using the "normal" Light->LightSensor type of comms, the direct electric connection is possible too, by using NQC's Off() and Float() commands, you simulate the ON/OFF state of a TouchSensor. This way, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
