Lightbulb Re: Problem using two transmitters

The way the manual is written, it sounds like we should be able to use two transmitters with one crystal.
But, untill we figure that out, here is our (temporary?) solution.

A guy on my team, Daniel, came up with this great hack:

Using EDIT PT, turn the response number thingie for motor ports 2, 3, 7, and 8 all the way down to zero on your second controller.
Then, use EDIT PT to turn the numbers for motor ports 4, 5, and 6 all the way down on the first controller.
And, of course, label the controllers with tape. ;-)

You can also change this on motor port 1 using SCALE, but you have to do this last, as anything you enter using EDIT PT will erase all SCALE stuff. It's really kind of a pain.

Sorry, I'm not using all the technical terms. I'll get Daniel to double-check this, but it should work.

I hope this helps, temporarily at least, the other teams who are having this problem.
