Hello,
for work i've been building a lego crane, which is used to
attract people to my company's stand at fairs/conferences. One
of the problem is the batteries. It's annoying that every once in
a while someone has to change them. I've heard that version
1.0 of the rcx had a power jack, and that version 2.0 'kinda' also has
one, only it's disabled or obscured (or something).
I've been googling my way through the internet, trying to find some
sort of rcx-modding-guide, but to no avail.
Is there anyone here that has some info on how i can get my rcx version
2.0 to work with an external power supply?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ilja

| (...) There was a rumour that 2.0 would have a power jack, which proved to be false when it came out. Personally I also sometimes use a stabilized 9V 1.5A supply, but as the others said, be careful with that. Jürgen (20 years ago, 26-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
