(...) This makes robots have to depend much more on dead-reckoning. If you are steering (say) 10% too much - then that error will build up without limit. You'd come out of a 90 degree turn with a 9 degree error - but unless you have two light (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I did a little more poking around and found out the reg.bat file in the SDK Bin directory is supposed to register the COM server vpbcom.dll. The batch file assumes the Windows install directory is "\windows\..." which could be bad if you installed (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

In case you haven't fixed your problem yet... Make sure you haven't moved or renamed any of the directories created after installing the SDK. Apparently, some COM objects get registered at install time and will fail to load if the directory (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Guys , Just to let you know that the AC Power Adapter that LEGO supplies has an AC output voltage. You can even get 5mm plug and attach it to a 9V battery clip and use a standard 9V battery to power the RCX. It won't last long but it is a way to (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
