  SDK2.0 on RCX1.5?
 
Anyone know if the new 2.0 SDK and firmware can be used on a 1.5 RCX? Anyone tried? (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Communication between NQC and VisualBasic
 
It seems that you want to run an RCX emulator on the PC side that can use the PC IR Tower as if it was the internal transmitter in the RCX brick. Thus you could run NQC generated bytecode in your robot, and NCQ generated bytecode on your PC. I know (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Bugs in RoboLab?
 
I thought I would pass on what I have learned. Robolab sends very different code to the RCX than you might assume. For example, "Wait for Rotation" will always clear the rotation sensor first! There are a number of other anomalies, such as the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Communication between NQC and VisualBasic
 
I would like to experiment with communication between two autonomous robots. Unfortunately I can't afford a second RCX. So I would like to this thing with the RCX and my PC. Is there a way to write a NQC program that interacts with a Visual Basic (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Remote control
 
Hi, Just wondering if pbForth supports the RCX remote? If not, any plans to do this? Thanks, ROSCO (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Bugs in RoboLab?
 
I am pretty certain I have found a bug in RoboLab. The behavior is reversal of output A. Has anyone experienced behavior from RoboLab that they are certain is not a programming error? Is there any patch or known bug list? Very frustrating. --Jack (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

  Voting Robot
 
Somebody should get their hands on one of the Florida butterfly ballots and see if they can create a Lego robot smart enough to punch the correct hole for Gore. :) Rossz (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: monitoring motor revolutions
 
(...) Hi Kris, In addition to Lester's comment here some ideas and statements regarding your project. As Lester stated, you will need accurate distance, speed and direction measurements - and that is so true. Furthermore, for calculating coordinates (...)

  Re: Three new books about Lego Mindstorms
 
(...) I just came across a few copies of LEGO Mindstorms for Dummies in Borders bookstore in Walpole, MA last Sunday, so I bought one. Haven't read it yet, but I'll post a review once I have. (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.books, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  First Entry for BrickBots.Com and my humbled second entry
 
First off, I want to congratulate Mac on being the first builder to enter the Aluminum Can Stacking challenge, and for besting my score before I was even done! While I was fiddling with my robot trying to get the coveted fourth can on the stack, he (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: LNPD problem..again :)
 
(...) Have you set up a packet handler on the RCX before sending this? I would guess that if there isn't one, you'll run into something like TCP's "connection refused", which might be what you're seeing. Otherwise, I assume that other LNP stuff (...)

  LNPD problem..again :)

  Re: monitoring motor revolutions
 
(...) The type of navigation you seem to be talking about is called "dead reconning" by aviators. This method requires accurate distance, speed and direction mesurments. Counting motor revolutions does not even tell distance if the surface has (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Lego Mindstorms Europe Demo Tour
 
(...) 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)
 
  monitoring motor revolutions
 
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 was thinking about monitoring motor revolutions, but then I am (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: RIS 2.0 - when, where, what??
 
(...) I take that back. Apparently Jin Sato didn't make that, he just talked about it in the book. I guess I never really noticed MIBO in that picture before. *feeling dumb* sorry... -jeremiah- (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Yeah, that was Jin Sato's. It's featured in his book on Mindstorms, and on his site: (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: RIS 2.0 - when, where, what??
 
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)
