|
| You know, after the first time I read through the SDK for 2.0, I always wanted to try sending immediate commands from the RCX to another one. that, I suspect, I can do with the standard firmware and NQC (I'll have to try). But to get information (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) There are two places you could have downloaded the BrickOS stuff from. 1) The NQC site, which has everything (like the kernal) pre-built. 2) The BrickOS site, where YOU need to build everything. If you did #1, it may be hard for you to rebuild (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| | |  | | Re: Battery voltage
|
| (...) I don't have a problem doing that, however, I suspect very few people will find it useful. First, most people who understand how to use the code, won't have a use for it. (don't need to talk to RCXs with standard firmware) Second, most people (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| | |  | | Battery voltage
|
| So, I finally managed to do something that's been bugging me for a year. When we were at the state FLL tournament last year, there were several times when we had to check the batteries, to see if they were still good. To do that, Greg would take the (...)

First, are we limiting to a Type 1b as we called it, i.e. - a Type 1b module occupies a 32x32 baseplate, not more? What (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
