|
| (...) This is correct. (...) Hehe :) Yes, this is correct. LegOS is also faster for some other reasons- it samples the sensors at a much faster rate than the standard firmware, so legOS programs can react much more quickly than standard bytecode (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| I don't know what version 0325 is, but as far as I know, only two versions of the firmware have shipped with Lego sets so far. Both the 1.0 and 1.5 RIS sets, plus all add-on sets (RoboSports, Extreme Creatures, Mars) ship with the original firmware. (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

You need to get the Scout SDK, not the RCX. The Scouts firmware is almost the same as the (...) (24 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.vc)
