  Re: Power Functions infra-red RC protocol released!
 
(...) This is great news indeed, thank you for posting. Has anyone tried the rc train remote on a power function reciver to see if it uses the single output pwm control signals?

  Re: Power Function control with RCX and BrickOS
 
(...) I don't have BrickOS, but I have been playing with the protocols in NBC. I got the twin-motor PWM mode to work in tests, and the original 'Combo direct'.

  Power Function control with RCX and BrickOS
 
Now you can use your RCX to control LEGO Power Functions. That's right the RCX can act as a PF remote control but it can do something that the PF remote can't do yet. The RCX can do PWM with your PF reciever moduals. You do not need to install (...)

  Re: Want to Buy a RCX USB IR-Tower
 
(...) Just buy a USB to Serial adaptor and use your Serial Tower if you can't find a USB Tower for sale anywhere. They're not very expensive and work fine. Many new desktop PC's done have serial ports these days. Dom (17 years ago, 23-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Want to Buy a RCX USB IR-Tower
 
(...) If your IR tower still functions, and it's just a matter of not having a serial port, the simplest solution would be to just buy an adapter that will allow you to hook up a serial device to a USB port. I don't know if Radio Shack will deliver (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Guys, Just retrieved my (dusted) RCX kit & a few spybots, when I move things around, unfortunately, my notebook does not have serial port any more. Moreover, the CD does not support XP either. Do you aware if any online shop will sell RCX USB (...) (17 years ago, 22-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
