Hello all,

Lets put in front what I find a smart improvement of the basic (soon old) train 9V speed regulator. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1607973 This is a picture that arrived very recently on brickshelf showing how to adapt a spybotic to control at distance a 9V train speed regulator with the IR of the spybotic.

However, I still have a question: Why using a 9V light in front of the photodetector of the spybotic?

If the author of this addition is reading, please explain. Or if you know him/her, please pass along the question :)

Anyway, in my opinion it is a very good improvement of the classic system for indoor use, and not only for trains if you think of it further...
