(...) The day I got my RCX2.0, I took it apart and confirmed my suspicion that the motor drivers used in the 1.0 are similar to a Melexis MLX10204. A similar chip is used in the 1.0, but the Melexis chip is used in the 2.0. I then fired off an (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi there, I recently picked up a 9748 DDK. I think it is a pretty fun set, for the limited amount of things that it does. I was wondering if someone who knows more about the Mindstorms stuff can answer a few questions for me. What are the expansion (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

They don't integrate well with systems based on the micro-scout. The RCX is a big lego brick that (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

So you can choose what language you want to use? For example, could you use a C++ programing program like MS Visual C++, and transfer it to the RCX? Or is there specific software that comes with it? -Adam (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Perhaps you should let John Barnes answer for himself. Different people have different approaches here.

Andy, I think the curved foot concept is the wrong direction for a two-legged mechanism. The few simple two-legged mechanisms I have seen rely on two feet, each with a VERY large footprint. Each footprint is large enough to support the weight of the (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)
