Here's my drawing of the Code Pilot light sensor circuit: (URL) Looking at the components used, there's no reason why a similar circuit couldn't be used as an RCX sensor, though I see the real one is more sophisticated: (URL) In the Code Pilot, the (...)

Purists please skip this post as it involves non-LEGO sensors. Lacking an RCX, but loving the motorized cows ( (URL) ), I needed to find a way to control them with the code pilot (from set 8479 Barcode Multi-Set) I have. The only LEGO sensor that (...)

(...) The codepilot was available in set 8479. To program it you swiped it across various bar codes. I don't own an RCX, so I can't give you a detailed comparison.

I have connected both a RCX and a CyberMaster to a CodePilot (and also to a MicroScout). I don't remember if I tried connecting also a Spybotics, but I think it work too. CodePilot accepts VLL codes but only the *Batch* VLL Commands, to make a VLL (...)

From what I understand of VVL, CodePilot and MicroScouts: The CodePilot has pre-programed "macros" burned into ROM. Each has it's own id-code, so that's why the book can use a one-barcode "program" for each factory standard model behavior. So, I (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.codepilot)
