Yes I hit the 'on' button.  Yes it worked on batteries before I started this
little project.

I'll bring it to dinner in January so the more electronic circuitboard/SMD savvy
amongst us can have a boo...

All this 'cause the 1.5 and the 2.0's don't come with AC adapters!!

Anyway, have another 1.0 with AC on order (or soon to be :) )

Dave,

Calum is correct, if you used the LEGO train adapter to send "stuff:" to the battery
terminals, then YES, you did PUNCH your RCX.

now, before Calum pipes up and suggests you put MILK in your RCX, please do bring it
to the dinner, I'm sure one or two of us will have a go at it.  Actually, my first
recommendations would be to pass it on to Matais J.

he's probably the RCX electronics expert.


failing that, I'll warm up the ol'  iron.

(...) I think Dave now takes the cake for "Most Confused About Electricity" from Shane, creator of Electron-B-Gone. At most you're out $50-130 for a used or new RCX. Calum (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
