 | | Transmission alternatives to IrDa ?

Hi, assume you want your PC to act as the brain of the robot. The PC should send from time to time comands to the robot during it works. The robot might be far away, so that IrDa transmission would not be possible anymore. Are there alternatives to (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Replacement battery options are listed on the HB FAQ, at: (URL) don't you get the 1000 mAh packs from Radio Shack? That would give you 2x the run time of the 500 mAh packs.

Hello, According to John Hansens' instructions, I am assuming you do not need to download the bin-utils as called out in the original sourceforge instructions. Is this correct? Thanks again for the help. Here goes. Rick Bonari (23 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

A big question is if the positioning resolution you could achieve would be worth the cost or effort. The GPS hardware I've seen tell you where you are within a few yards.
