I'm giving a presentation about Mindstorms on Wednesday. I have a slide near the end that talks about all the stuff I know people want to see added. Here's what I have so far: RCX === RC communication (but keep the IR port, too) more I/O ports (...)

(...) David, DACTA sets are included in the set library along with all other sets - if 1079 isnt there (as it appears it isnt), it means mo-one else has supplied any information about it. It would be nice if you could supply a picture and any other (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.dacta)

Is there a list of Dacta products like there are of normal Lego products. I obtained 1079 a puzzle with pictures of elephants, tigers & bears and would like to know more about it. Thanks, David (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.dacta)

(...) Well, I don't know, but it looks like the older version. (...) manage a website (I've tried), but maybe Lugnet could add a second listing, like 9293_1 and 9293_2, _2 being the one with the three-wheeled bikes. (trikes) ...Just a suggestion... (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.dacta)

Hi all, I'd like to know if Pitsco and Moore Educational are *still* selling the "older" version of set #9293, featuring the old type of bikes: (URL) the image, which is the same at Moore, I'd say they are. BUT I've only recently noticed that LEGO (...) (22 years ago, 6-Apr-03, to lugnet.dacta)

| | Another Use for Dino Cans
|

I got the 2003 Pitsco catalog yesterday and got chuckle for the use of the dino cans for the "eLab Green Car" set. See (URL) looks like they have some new parts packs, so it would be worth getting a copy of the catalog. (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.dacta)

Mark It also sounds to me as if you have the old Control Lab interface boxes. While we stopped producing the Control Lab software a few years ago, you can use the newest version of RoboLab to program these interfaces. You can purchase a copy from (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.dacta)

(...) Are you talking about the "Control Lab" system? The one with eight (!) inputs and eight (!!) outputs? I've got the Macintosh software, somewhere. If LEGO says it is "obsolete", would they mind if someone made a copy of it for you? Otherwise, (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.dacta)

Mike, As recommended by others in this thread I contacted Lego Dacta and they sent me (free of charge) a CD-ROM with the 2.5.1 upgrade on it. This can only be applied to an installed copy of 2.5.0. I have not found the 2.5.1 upgrade anywhere on the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.dacta)

I grow confused about all this. Can you tell me how to get 2.5.1 from a patch/update off the net? Alternatively, can you tell me who to contact in the UK (or for the UK) to get the update files please? Mike Reddy, Senior Lecturer -- Web: (URL) (...)

I have Robolab 2.5.0 and I tried to install SP1. The install says that 2.5.1 is required. It then searches for 2.5.1 on your disk. In my case it said 2.5.1 found and updated the software. Robolab now no longer works! This seems to suggest that you (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.dacta)
