  Re: Motor Sticking
 
Gaurav, Certainly isn't in my case, these motors are stalled so bad I can't get them to move at all now unless I stick a 24t gear on them and turn them by hand. Even then it requires considerable force. The cables I've tried on these motors work (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)
 
  RCX: Loose Assembly?
 
Howdy, I purchased the RIS for the first time on Saturday, Yeah! When I pick up the RCX, out of the box, the green back cover fell away from the unit. I'm so happy to find that that is where the batteries go! But I'm seeing this kind of thing all (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Auto Shut Off
 
(...) If you have NQC, just issue the following command: nqc -sleep 0 I'm not sure if there's any way to do this from RCX Code or Robolab. Dave (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Auto Shut Off
 
(...) If you set the delay to zero, the RCX will not shut off. I don't remember if the RCX Code software can set such a delay, but I know for certain you can send an opcode to do it. There are many documented ways to send opcodes if you need to go (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Auto Shut Off
 
Hi all, How do I turn OFF the auto shut off function of the RCX? I'd like to write a program which contains some long (1hr) delays. Thanks for replies, MTapsak (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Motor Sticking
 
(...) This might sound a bit silly, but it could be your electric cables. I also have a bunch of motors (most are 3-4 years old, one is 7 years old) and I use quite a bit. As far as I have noticed, they haven't had any problems. However, I have (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Motor Sticking
 
Rob, Did you ever get any answers to this query? I also have three of the newer Technic motors that have seized. (Out of a collection of about 10 motors that's a 30% failure rate - not good!) I suspect that this may occur with lack of use rather (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: A reset key for pbforth
 
(...) Good idea. I saw I didn't paste the definition of RESET_BUTTONS into the message. Inside the interrupt handler, the Program key hides the Run key. So Program+Run=4 and Program+View+Run=6. If I read the docs correctly this is not the normal (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  RE: A reset key for pbforth
 
(...) Ersnt, Thanks for this tip. I was contemplating using some kind of interrupting switch to the batteries, this is much better. I might make it accept a parameter which is a mask of the keys to press for the reset function. I'll integrate this (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
