Hi there,

I've made a little robot that should run its program until powered down
manually, unfortunately, the brick seems to power itself down after a
certain amount of time.  Is there an instruction I can give with the default
lego environment that prevents this?


I'm pretty sure there's a Auto Shutdown time somewhere in the settings.
It's set to
15 minutes.  If you change it to zero, it should not shutdown.

Steve is right.  I forget what how the command is done with the RCX
software the comes with the RIS but in NQC one can use the
SetSleepTime() function.  Quoting from the help file:

In the RIS software, there is a config panel, and the Auto Shutdown
setting can be changed from there. As far as I know, you canot
actually do it as part of the RCX code programs.
