Hi, I'm just getting started using LNP, read the howto and tried to play around with the examples therein. However, somthing goes wrong. I have a little programm on the RCX increasing a counter every second, displaying it's value on the lCD and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) The problem is that the 27MHz frequencies are fairly tightly restricted in some countries. Here in the US, it's pretty much open-season, it's used by CB radios, radio controlled models - and various toys. However, in other countries (the UK (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
