I put some info on what I have found using a camera with the Mars Expansion Pack on my small web pages. The USB cable is not a good umbilical, stiff. I had to abandon one scanning platform design just because the cable tension kept stalling it out. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | RCX auto shut-off ?

Hi, My RCX shuts off automatically after about 5 min. The set-up options in the RCX software tells me its set for 15. Is this min. or sec.? I'm pretty sure the batteries are fine...it also shut down when using an adapter. Is there something else I (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

There are two different versions of the RCX. Unfortunately, they are both labeled "RCX 1.0". The one that comes with the Robotics Invention System 1.0 has a power adapter input and the one that comes with RIS 1.5 does not. It is possible to use (...)

Anyone know what I can use instead of batteries for my RCX? Some sort of AC Adapter? I saw mention of something like this here, but, couldn't figure out how it could be set up. Thanks! .josh .jburley@kuci.org (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
