  How to read variables from RCX
 
It is my understanding that the RCX has 32 "spaces" for variables, I am trying to set variable A or 10 to the value of 100 and then evaluate it in an IF statement. However I am not sure how to read that variable "space" correctly. Here is what I am (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Strange problem with RcxCC ??
 
I have used RcxCC on several Win95 and WIN98 and WIN Me machines. Great. But now I need to run it on 6 machines in a library for a class. I have installed the same latest version on 3 of these machines, and they all seem to install OK, but executing (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Clearing the firmware
 
Rick, I believe that you take a battery out and turn the thing on, which will reset it to firmwareless mode. Then you just download the lego firmware to it as if you had just gotten a new rcx. Nick (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Clearing the firmware
 
Hi, I've just installed LegOS 0.2.5 and its working great! However, I'd like to temporarily put the original lego firmware back on. How do I erase the legOS firmware so that the ROM bootstrap code will permit the Mindstorms software to download its (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: LegOS and the Downloader....
 
Well, it wasn't that one. I already got and fixed that one. It says: "cannot load legOs executable from:" and then it gives me the name of my attempted file. It's not specifically my program, because none of the demos like helloworld.lx will load, (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Using the serial port of an NCD terminal.
 
Hello legOS fans, I have written a hack to make it possible to connect the IR tower to a NCD terminal. Here at university we are using those fan less terminals, while the servers are in another room. A NCD has a serial port, that is accessible via (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: LegOS and the Downloader....
 
Nick, It'd be helpful to know what the message was! I sometimes get "error deleting program" messages, and have to "re-boot" the RCX & re-install legOS.srec. I'm not sure what causes this, but it happens so rarely that I haven't investigated (yet). (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  LegOS and the Downloader....
 
I just installed LegOS last night, made my first few not-too-complicated programs today, and downloaded them. They worked fine, up until I found the bugs. I tried to download a new, updated version of my program, and got an error message. (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Play pcm on the RCX
 
I think this item has been discused sometimes but I have discovered RIS, just last Christmas. Has anyone played a pcm wave? I know how to play it on a PC speaker, but I don´t know a lot on H8 architecture and so on the timers (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Lego Dacta/Robolab control with 8 I/O
 
I forgot to mention that LEGO Engineer 2.0 currently runs on top of ROBOLAB 2.0. So ok, its not *free* :) You have to spend the $25 or so on ROBOLAB first. But its still better than LOGO I think because the programming is graphical. And unlike (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
