David (and all), I don't blame lego for the problem. But I have my computer so tweaked (mostly to run varying simulations) that sometimes new software can through it out of wack. Perhaps when I get a new computer I will get VC again (hey Brickbay is (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I brought my VC camera into work to use as a webcam last week. I've yet to get it to work. I had it working fine at home on a PII system, but something about this ABIT TX5 board just gives me a black screen. I also tried the "Fix it" button, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It could be that I am misinterpreting it, but the original post seemed to ask the question "How do you get more power out of the Lego motors?" It was not about gearing or rotation sensors at all. These things are important but the implication (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Are you running an AMD Processor on your TX5 ? I found some obscure references that say the logitech software and the LEGO(R) stuff won't run on certain K6's. My K6-300 and my K6-233 do exactly what you describe : ( I took mine to work and it works (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Chris, Do a search for "CM-RCX Comm" thread, in lugnet.robotics :) That's (still) my main current project. It works. It's possible to make a CM and a RCX communicate with each other through "eletric" (or light but I didn't test the input through (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
