Hello folks,

Could you help me out with this question?

I'm wanting to update the RIS firmware to the new frm0328.lgo file which
I
downloaded through the beta SDK zip file.  I'm a bit of a newbie when it
comes to Mindstorms and not quite sure how to go about the updload to the
RCX.

Using the RCX Command Center's download feature, I get a "Firmware
download
failed.  Put the RCX closer and try again" error.  It seems that no
matter
how close or far the RCX, the download doesn't work (it does work fine
when
downloading the standard firmware from the RIS CD).


What version of RcxCC and/or NQC are you using?  Old versions had
trouble with the larger firmware files (such as firm0328.lgo).  Grab the
latest version of RcxCC (now called BricxCC) from
http://members.aol.com/johnbinder/bricxcc.htm or alternatively you can
just replace the nqc.exe file with a more recent version from
http://www.enteract.com/~dbaum/nqc/index.html

Also, is this firmware different from that contained in the Vision
Command
system?

I think its the same.

Dave

(...) Thanks for everybody's help. It does appear that I was using an older version of RCXCC or NQC. Also, the firmware of the Vision Command was precisely what I needed. Now I only need to find a free Visual Basic compiler if such a thing exists. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
