yes I did ... :-(

manuel
thanks for the tips, but nothing helps. I tried 0.2.5, I tried the far
and near mode, I changed the lighting conditions -> nothing helped. But I
don't think that I fired up my Brick/Tower because the original Lego
Software under Windows works, even the RcxCC with nqc works ok.

But I will continue trying ...

Did you try using the slow mode option ("-s" for firmdl3) as was
suggested?

hi all, im doing a research project over here and in the process i have set
up lnpd and now have continous
communication between my robot and the PC. Now then here is the deal, there
is a teoretical posibility that i will
get more inputs from my sensors than i manage to send out with lnpd. The
sensor inputs are stored in a ring buffer
and i have constructed various functions to deal with buffer overflow and
possible loss of connection, and a few other
unpredictable "happenings". so what i was wondering, does anyone here have
experience with this sort of programming
(remote controlling in an unstable enviroment) and if so, do you have any
books you recomend ?
i have a nice collection of information on this already, but id really like
to hear what you guys have to say

regards

I did some more digging. When I look into the reg I do not find the reg keys
as mentioned on the http://www.geocities.com/winlnp/ page. I dig in the code
and set the com port by hand (directly to com1) and now I have the green
ligth on the IR tower.

However still no messages to the rcx

And idea's ....  anyone?

Dear all,

I have some troubles setting up WinLNP. I am new to RCX (2 months) and legOS
(1 month) and have not much experience with VC6. I want to set up a line of
communication between PC and RCX.

I downloaded everything from http://www.geocities.com/winlnp/ and I managed
to get the source compiled without errors. Now I have a file winLNP.exe and
an example application in VB. I did apply the example provided on the page
mentioned above in the RCX. What should happen? I start winLNP and it starts
without erros. I see it in the taskmanager. But whatever I try with the VB
application RCX does not respond. I also do not see the IR tower become
awake. Furthermore I do not get the registry keys (mentioned on the above
page) in my reg. So i am unable to check com port seting etc.

Any hints?

I use W2000 on a P4 1/7Ghz machine.

I did get LNP working however with the sources of petrovic at
(www.idi.ntnu.no/~petrovic/ir/) many thanks, but i would like to use the
"real thing"

I've updated my website with some changes to the building instructions
for the (MS)2 Expander that might make it easier to build.

One other thing, did you erase the firmware from the RCX before trying
to load legOS?
