(...) Actually, there's a regulator on the Tower that takes the voltage for the digital side to +5 and keeps it there. The capacitor is only rated for 10V. The higher voltage will allow higher current through the IREDs as they are connected right to (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I'm pretty sure I know your problem to your number 2... The IR Tower has no protection against higher power. Running an unregulated power source into the IR tower is not a good idea! Use a 9v regulator package (The little 3 prong packages with (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The following information is my own opinion and not endorsed or verified in any way by LEGO. That being said, I think that now is the time to relate some experiences I've had over the past couple of months with my RCX and IR tower - and it boils (...)

(...) Not really -- the tower uses its own proprietary communcations format. It's similar enough to that used by remote controls that learning remotes can pick up the signals, but I haven't heard of anyone going the other way around.

I know this may be a bit off topic, but didn't know where else to post, I own an IR tower and remote control, and was wondering if it is possible to use the IR tower for other things. eg using PC + tower to control stereo/TV, or using IR remote to (...)

Hi Here are two programs I've compiled and downloaded into my RCX. The first one works fine whereas the second doesn't (no music). Since the only difference between them is the type of the variable "number", I'm worrying about the ability of the (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Had an error "C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1...1\Classes" is not a directory, but I just created a directory there and now it's working fine. Thanks!! (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

At least it runs. :-) That error means that for some reason install could not create the directory .lvi in your windows directory. Check to see if you are able to create a folder in the Windows directory by hand, as this just calls "standard" java (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

do you mean 3mod3 = 0 or mod(-3)=mod(3)= 3 ? If you mean the first then you want the %age operator, otherwise you want an 'abs' function not sure if legOS supports this as doesn't support floats(entirely), but you can always write a quick (...)
