I believe that i have a dead rcx, or a problem w/ the ir transmitter
(doubtfull). I have a Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 1.5,
and have succesfully installed the firmware using the cd given along
with the set. But when i try to download the test program, it bails
out with an error stating the the rcx is not responding, or the ir
transmitter is bad. I went through the whole troubleshooter, with no avail. I
have tried communicating under both the lego mindstorms
software, and under the Tcl RCX Bytecode Compiler:
http://www.autobahn.org/~peterp/rcx/
Of which neither has worked, this is the transcript of the attempt by
using the Tcl RCX Bytecode Compiler:
% source rcx.tcl
% connect
% source torbot.tcl
% beam 5
ping...No response from RCX
%
--end of transcript
If anyone has any help that they can offer it would be gladly
appreciated. Thank You

| (...) I hope you proved (somehow) that the problem is *not* with your serial port. Even if you have selected which COM port (or let it select automatically) there is the possibility the signal is not getting through. Does the green light in the (...)
