Hi,

Since RIS 1.5 the RCX no longer has the adapter for an external powers source.

Lego obviosuly did not change the design of some of the components of the RCX.

So in conclusion RIS 1.5 and 2.0 don't support external powers supplies on
the RCX.

Regards
Q

hi guys!

i got a brand new r.i.s 2.0 set (cheap :-), and now i'm
a little confused:
the rcx brick (it says "2.0" on it) has no connector for
an external power source. i thought it should!??

however, if i remove the dark grey bottom, the green
battery holder has an opening in its "frame". it seems
like it is prepared for holding a connector, but there's
none built in...

any ideas?

some other questions:

- my other rcx is from a r.i.s 1.5 set i bought new.
  however, it says "rcx 1.0" on the rcx brick. why?

- can i use the 2.0 firmware (downloaded from lego
  or from the r.i.s 2.0 cd?) on all versions of rcx's
  (1.0, 1.5, 2.0)?

- can i also use the software environment and the
  usb ir-tower from r.i.s 2.0 for all these rcx's?

thanks a lot for any input!
many greetings
mat
