  Where to Find Latest Firmware File?
 
Can anyone please point me to where I can download the latest firmware version? I searched the Lego Mindstorms site and can't seem to find it. Thanks! (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: MacNQC and RCX Troubles
 
(...) Bob, What type of Mac is it ? I have an original RIS 1.0. My Mac PB-G3 (wallstreet) is unable to key up the IR tower at all, but an old SE/30 works just fine. I think there are subtle differences in the voltages on Mac serial ports between (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I just got RIS1.0 and can't seem to get the RCX to respond using MacNQC or RCX Command Center running under Virtual PC 3.0.

  Re: VB SDK for RCXs
 
The VB SDK is on the LEGO Mindstorms page under the Master Coders SDK area. A word of warning, I looks like 2.0 does not use the OCX that VB uses. You may want to explore the 2.0 software. James J. Trobaugh <james@ngltc.org> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Lightsensor
 
Are you saying that if you shine a bright light into the sensor it only goes up to 47, or is that the reading you get reflected from white paper. You should get 100 when you shine a light into it.

  VB SDK for RCXs

  LeJOS
 
Is there any documentation on classes for the LeJOS? How do I write a program that accesses all the motors, senors, etc? Is it worth the trouble to replace the firmware? (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: Long range IR mode
 
(...) Disclaimer: I didn't try ANYTHING of this... According to Kekoa's Internals, the ROM routine 0x3250 (0x3266) with parameter 0x1770 sets the IR range to long (short).
