Thanks for your response, but it really didn't address my questions. 1. How are these things supposed to be connected to an RCX? 2. Assuming that I could get power to it, would the RCX run with a solar panel (300ma) if I didn't connect any motors? I (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I have not run a RCX with the Solar Cells. I would think you would require three cells and three capacitors connected in series to provide 7.5 volts to the RCX. This would require making an adapter from the wire brick to the power input of the RCX. (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I have the same thoughts. You can't use them together. Power output/requirements don't match. You could have an RCX driven vehicle pulling a trailer that has a solar-cell and capacitor supplying power to a device that is switched on from (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics)
