|

The standard RCX firmware with its serial protocol could not talk to a GPS, but LegOS could. With LegOS and a GPS we could make robots that could tell where they were. This would be way cool.

Hi I hear that I can use the RCX to command the scout? How do I write some code to do that sort of thing. Can it be done with the software that comes with the Rcx rather than say NQC? Thanks! -Mike (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
