(...) Hello, I suppose that the new 2000 Arctic sets will fit in with your plans now. They can witness an iceburg encounter, and finally these behemoths will have rescue available (or is that RES-Q). Merry Christmas! Aaron>maniac@vol.com (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.space)

Hi All, Since I am and train head I don't read .RCX (this topic might be well exhausted) I just read thru a third party book on the RCX and in one place he said the timer granularity in 1/10 sec and in another it was 1/1000 sec. My goal is to pulse (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

Hi all, I'm glad to introduce you a first draft/beta R2D2/DDK with an RCX done tonight.

I'm 34, and while I played with Legos as a child I haven't really been involved in them for the past 20 years or so. The reason I'm getting back into Mindstorms now is that I was about to rebuild a 6.270 board that my cat broke, and decided to go (...) (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Perhaps I should add Apple Event support to MacNQC - it wouldn't be too difficult. On the other hand, it may be more appropriate to build a smaller stand-alone app that serves as a bridge between Apple Events and RCX communication. Dave Baum (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
