The lego camera will not work with imovie, I'm afraid. Imovie only works with DVcameras, not with webcams. I think the lego camera is actually one of the logitech cameras inside, so there may be a MacOS 9 driver, but not a MacOS X driver. I don't (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | External motor power and expansion board combo problem?
|
|
I wish to make the small mod to allow for external power to the motor outputs of the main board. However, this seems to cause several potential problems with the expansion board. First, the motor power connector is occupied by the motor power (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I tried the Philips driver back when I hunted down drivers to make it work. Multiple drivers were tried, but nothing worked. I'll put a list together before BW and someone else can benefit from the info in the future. I'd try iMovie if I had (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You got it, Matt! The camera will go to BricksWest. We'll test it out on site. If you or anyone else has any more ideas on how to get this to work, I'm still open to suggestions, but so far I haven't located drivers that would allow it to work (...)

(...) The trouble with this (I suppose) is that the precision of the A-to-D convertor in the RCX is going sharply limit the angular precision when that number range is 'stretched' over ten revolutions. I've seen the devices you talk about though - (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I have to disagree with your approach. Even at low speeds, alternating between pushing on the gas and stamping on the brake isn't the way to drive smoothly. Perhaps you need to gear the machine differently and use less power during the ON (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Here's a follow-up to this issue, from a thread in .robotics: (URL) anyone, post if you get this thing to work, as I am still interested in the camera myself if we can get it to work...
