 | | [ANN] TinyVM 0.2.2 with auto-power-off
|
| The latest release's firmware shuts the RCX off if it's idle in program download mode for more than 8 minutes. If you have a program running indefinitely, though, batteries will still run out. Also, TinyVM 0.2.2 should work on CygWin 1.1.x, unlike (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
