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...

Some basics of the design:
- Two throttles controlled by one Spybotics (left and right controlls on remote)
- Rubberband tension should be such that they slip rather than tearing it apart.
- Using NQC, internal program allows control of both throttles without remote
(i.e., on Spybotics brink itself). First throttle controlled by by Touch Sensor
and second throttle controlled by Light Sensor (hence the need for the light
bulb). - Pics and .dat file:

| (...) I own several spybot moduals, and I've thought of controlling points with them. I've also seen clubs use remotes to control a kill switch. Enstead of the light, could you use the touch sensor for both controllers? Press once to address the (...) (18 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
