If this isn't a time of day clock, tell me what it is...

The RCX hardware does not have a time of day clock.  I haven't fooled with
the standard RCX bytecode interpreter, so I wasn't aware that it
implemented one in software, but it is doing just what I said you could do
-- you get the initial time/date and then you keep it up to date by
counting regularly scheduled interrupts.

It's setup like a mission clock.  Clock on for duration of
the mission (ie -turned on).

Why not just use IR to 'ask' the computer what time it is? trowton -----Original Message----- From: John A. Tamplin <jat@Traveller.COM> To: Laurentino Martins <lmartins@marktest.pt> Cc: Lego-Robotics <lego-robotics@crynwr.com> Date: Thursday, (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
