(...) I saw this bar-tender in Frankfurt at the visioncommand 2000 competition. They are obviously running a serial protocol on their 17 RCX ! (One RCX and the IR-Tower were under the desk in a box.) Why don't they offer tese protocol to the lugnet (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I am currently working on a program that will monitor where a RCX goes. I am trying to establish a coordinate system so if it finds a light it can tell the location of the light.

I don't think so - I seem to remember seeing this somewhere before, built with a humble RCX 1.0/5. Actually, if you look closely, you'll see it contains 2 RCXs, one below the other on an angle. Not much chance of TLC including 2 with the set.... (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Take a look at (URL). See the dog? Is it MIBO? If we can really build that dog out of the box, then RIS 2.0 might as well be the best Technic Universal set Lego has ever released. Look at the rotation sensor, the shock absorbers, and all those turn (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Great info! USB IR tower sounds good, I want to use my IR tower with my iBook, but I'm too lazy to buy an USB/Parallell port... I'm planning to use MacNQC then, but AFAIK, MacNQC doesn't "know" that there is a USB port on my computer... Or will it (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi, Jason. Try learn from the IR tower itself. If that works, you make it learn what ever you want. All you need is to use RcxCC or similar software. Reading from the RCX IR emitter may be a possibily also, but you will learn only messages this way. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
