By trial, error, and lots of googling, I found a recipe for getting to the programming feature in the RIS software that came with my old original set. When installing, let it install quicktime 2 and 3 as well as the old DirectX; only do the minimum (...) (15 years ago, 11-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics)

Picked up a used Droid Developer Kit (set #9748) via garage sale. Had the instruction manuel, the micro-scout and missing less than a handful of parts (easily replaced). However, it was also missing the CD_Rom. Anyone know where I can get a (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

Hi Mark If you can't get your hands on the original dev kit CD-ROM, you should be able to program it with NQC. If the hardware is the same as the Dark Side Development Kit (pretty sure it is) NQC works brilliantly. Cheers Tom (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Actually, the Droid Developer Kit and Dark Side Development Kit contain the Micro Scout which is not really programmable. See (URL) details on how to program it with a VLL.

Oops.. absolutely correct - do I feel like an idiot? :) As Doug says, the brick can only be programmed in a limited sense using VLL. The way we do it is via a Spybotics robot, programmed using NQC and connected to the Microscout via a light-tube. (...) (15 years ago, 16-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

It won't be easy to write a program with Visual Studio that runs ON the RCX. It should be pretty easy (for a programmer) to write a program that runs on a PC, and uses the IR tower to send commands to the RCX, telling it what to do. Also, you can't (...)
