Hi everyone (but especially the robot people). I thought I would post a
pretty dumb question that I already know the answer to. But the point is,
that it is a robotics question, and we are seldom seeing anything but trains
here these days... So here it is. Can I start a robot by flipping a polarity
switch? Or do I have to press 'run' on the RCX? Also, just curious, is
anyone going with two RCX's out there? I might have to, but I really don't
want to. It seems that the programming would get pretty complicated, which I
don't like. If you can believe it, I have had two RCX's since January, and
have never used both of them in a project!?

| (...) Well, couldn't you set up a program which watches the sensor port for a resistance value and when you flip the switch, have it trigger a subroutine? Have the RCX always running, but only starting your actions when you get the sensor condition. (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Any RCX needs the run switch pressed. either by pressing the green button on the unit itself, OR by sending it the IR command for run. (like the remote) As Calum typed, and I just tried, have the second rcx run in a loop of nothing, UNTIL a (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
