Hi all,
(This is my first post in these groups so please redirect me if this is
not the right group.)
I do some minor dabbling with the RCX --- simple programs operating
simple machines. I program in NQC via bricxcc on Windows XP with a USB
IR tower. (Does that cover all the necessary parameters?)
Suppose I make a machine, program the RCX, put everything in a box,
travel to some distant locale (maybe 5 miles away, maybe 500, it doesn't
matter). When I get there, I unpack my stuff and, ARRGGHHH!, my
batteries are dead and the RCX has forgotten everything. I can easily
put in new batteries but that does help the RCX get back to being smart;
I need my computer for that.
What I'm needing, I think, is a laptop to take with me. So then I could
redo everything remotely if needed. "Honey, I'm buying a new $2100
laptop so that I don't lose my RCX programs on my way to LUG meetings."
I'm thinking that wouldn't go over very well.
So, the question: what's the least expensive way to make sure that dead
batteries won't screw me when I am away from my trusty desktop computer?
Thoughts? Ideas? Can I do everything via my old Palm Vx? What are
the options?
Thank you for your input,
Rafe
