Hey there, very interested in doing this, do I just need to cut a couple of cables up and join pin 3,5,6. I want to use this with robot C

No, NXT-G can not access the high speed API functions. Maybe someone can create a block to do this.

@markr80 A block to do this has very recently been created, I uploaded a video showing use of it, and in the description of it, there is a link where you can find where you can download it.

i'm trying to implement this feature into two bricks, however, i already have the entire program made in NXT-G. this RS-485 technology isn't possible in the NXT-G solution however, is it?

you should try make a vehicle using this method

It would be real nice if via a master-slave config the master could send an application to the slave that on would run as a tokenized network. Such a framework would really spead up developing for this platform.

Very informative - thank you!

[greyerg]

Thanks for the video dude! It was a HUGE help for my design project class!

Did you program using NXC? If so I'd be interested to know the maximum number of short packets per second that could be transferred via RS485.

You could do this a lot easier if you used the bluetooth because I know you can do it with bricxcc

This is awesome and well documented.
