  Re: Firmware download troubles
 
Also: When it seems to get to the very end before the error appears, I sometimes get a long (3-4 seconds) low tone from the RCX. Matt (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Firmware download troubles
 
Hi All, I have pulled my RCX out of summer storage and I am trying to bring it to life. I have tried to download the 2.0 Firmware (firm0328.lgo) dozens of times with no success. It starts to download, then somewhere in the middle, or very close to (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Installation Help!
 
(...) You need to install the Cygwin gcc package. You need the normal Cygwin gcc to build the Cygwin->H8300 cross-compiler gcc. Max. (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: installation of cygwin and legos/brickos
 
John, It looks as if you don't have the cross compiler or it is is not in a known directory. Try searching your entire hard drive for h8300. That might bring something up. You should have either tired to build the cross compiler or downloaded it (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Installation Help!
 
Thanks for the info! I checked and I do have grep installed. But I did not install anything other than was listed. I initially tried to install everything but the download died after a couple of hours on my T1 connection. Would some kind person with (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Installation Help!
 
(...) Hi Max, I got: $ gcc -v BASH: gcc: command not found but the command I am running to get all this output is the buildgcc.sh command to build gcc. Andy (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  want to get inentors kit but...
 
Is it true you need windows 98 to run it on? If so, is there anyway around this, coz I only have windows ME or red hat 6.2 linux (I'd rather use windows). Also, why does it cost $189 in the USA (about £120) and in the UK it costs £159 ? Is this lego (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Ultimate Builders Set for Mac?
 
All the instructions on the UBS CD are jpegs and quicktime movs. This means that you can read them on a mac without using virtual PC, and if you have Quicktime Pro, you can join them all together as a slide show. Look on the CD in shared/build. I (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Ultimate Builders Set for Mac?
 
James, Thanks for the helpful info! If a PC is really needed only for reading the build instructions, do you think I could read them using Virtual PC running on my Mac? Dean (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Ultimate Builders Set for Mac?
 
The LEGO pieces you get with the Ultimate Builders Set are a nice addition to any collection. However, the software with all the instructions for all the models only runs on the PC. All the behaviors are completely possible with Robolab but without (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Ultimate Builders Set for Mac?
 
We use Robolab software and the RCX on our Power Macintosh G3. Will the Ultimate Buiders Set work for us in that environment? Dean (23 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: installation of cygwin and legos/brickos
 
(...) Saw this problem before. You might check older mails in this newsgroup discussing that. Running brickOS under Linux I don't know much about the cygwin problems. But your makefile assumes that the c compiler can be run with the command "cc" (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: installation of cygwin and legos/brickos
 
John, What version of legOS are you using? Looking at the code below it seems to indicate that you are using legOS ver 0.2.6 (unless in the newer versions of brickOS we forgot to change a directory name). I am also going to gues that you are using (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Mechanical pneumatic switch
 
(...) Yes, there's a really simple way. If you use the liftarm <part:2825> and a 40 tooth gear on the same axle, then you can attach the liftarm and a technic connector with axlehole together with another axle. This last part will attach to the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Does any one know of a way to mechanicalize the pneumatics switch? I need something as small as possible. Thanks Scott (23 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  installation of cygwin and legos/brickos
 
I have previously reported problems in installing cygwin and legos, and have tried again to get this up and running. I believe that cygwin is not properly installed and have included information here on all modules included and error messages when I (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
