Hi Folks, After trying to get RIS 1.5 (that works on Win 95) and failing, I now want to get an RIS 2.0 system but would like to know if 2.0 works with Win 2000 ? Thanks, Harpreet ======== (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I remember seeing an ad in some Oceanography magazine for a LEGO submarine that used the RCX in a sealed housing. From the diagram (line drawing) it looked like it used different motors. I also remember someone using a submerged 9 volt geared (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Robolab is a wonderful tool for working with the RCX. I agree that the interface is unusual, but it accurately reflects the way that National Instruments (creator of LabView, the father of Robolab) views the world. They see everything as a (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Wayne, The northern California hotbed of LEGO activity is the Bay Area-- BayLug actually meets fairly regularly (I think down in Fremont). Otherwise it is pretty dead up here, although a while back someone from the Reno area was looking for (...)

Wow. Michael, this helps a lot. Thanks. But now I have some other questions... (...) Yes, that makes sense.

Thanks to all those who replied. I think the consensus is to move forward with the NQC. I am relieved that there is a GUI for it and will look into this. Steve - as for your point about there being easier ways to learn how to program, this is no (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Ok, lets try to fiddle some things out. There seems to be a confusion about the software needed for running legOS and why.

Thanks. I'm new to this game. I'm aware of bricklink but my initial take is that one needs to search their list on the home page for a dealer and then order through them. Maybe this isn't true. Maybe one just orders on bricklink and a dealer (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Perhaps this link will help you: (URL) is a detailed description in the tips & tricks section. It shows how to change the frequency. The description is also available in english. Greetings, Bart (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

Is DJGPP easier to use from DOS (Windows)? Can CygWin be executed from a command line? When I set up my PC with LegOS (about a year ago) I installed DJGPP (with the help of a Unix friend), and I've been very happy with it. Recently, I just set-up a (...)

I wondered why they included NQC in the Ada/Mindstorms distribution so I d/led all 26MB or so and tried it out. In turns out that they compile the ADA code into NQC code. They they run NQC over that to produce code which runs on the RCX. It offers a (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
