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)

(...) 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.

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)
