The RCX communicates to the tower
through infrared (IR) technology. There are no wires used to connect the RCX
to the tower. However, there must be an uninterrupted field of vision
to the "eye" located on the front of the RCX unit. You can
tell when the RCX is communicating when you see a green LED light
up on the tower.
Two ranges of transmission are available
and can be selected with the Short/Long Infrared setting. The serial IR
Transmitter has a switch located on the unit. The USB transmitter's options are
set via software, in the control panel (or equivalent) under "LEGO USB."
Short Range: approximately 1.5 feet (0.5 meters) - ideal for general purpose work.
Long Range: approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) - used in "direct control" or long range testing.
Note: Battery life is lower at the Long Range setting.
