I used three sets of treaded chain links and 1x10 plates to make the tracks for a couple models. None of the plates ever came completely loose, but some of them would come loose from one of the three treads. Virtually all of the treaded chain links (...)

I'm enough of a purist that I wouldn't ust non-lego treads, atleast I wouldn't go searching / buying a set. I am considering using a low temp glue gun to hold the 1x4 plates on. I did use a thin elastic cording on the inside of the conveyor links to (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I never thought of using a low-temp glue gun. It does peal off nicely on smooth flat surfaces. I'll have to test it out! Could get messy on the back side of the plates and in the treads. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Pieter, I'll take a shot at it... It's possible you may be experiencing a transmission problem on the RCX side. That's not to say that your RCX can't transmit IR data correctly... obviously it can since you are able to download BrickOS and that (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi there, I still don't manage to send any packages from the rcx to the PC. I attached the client and the "receiver program" and here is a fragment of the lnpd log: 148032:Client > connection 1 from host 127.0.0.1, port 33485 148039:Logical > (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Dear all, I'm looking for the library for drawing a modified schematic for the HandBoard, but Protel does not have the library for this. Does anybody have? or is there any other chip which could replace the current one?? Thanks Rita (23 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
