| | SetWatch() is remembered?
|
|
So does this mean that the RCX acts like a PC in that it does not forget the date/time when it is turned off or the batteries changed? Should I just write a one line program to set the time, and remove the time code from my actual NQC program? Thank (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi hardware-specialists, does anyone know the maximum continuous current that a RCX motor output can drive? (I want to connect a light.) Thanks a lot. Bernd (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | RCX 2.0 Difference
|
|
I have got both an RCX1.0 and RCX2.0 unit. The RCX2.0 has a much less sensitive IR port. I would use the remote control to send messages and start and stop programs and to trigger motors. With the RCX1.0 the remote could be pointed at the unit and (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | RE: SetWatch() only accepts constants
|
|
Instead of sending ByteCodes from the PC and getting the RCX to interpret them, you can construct and send the SetWatch() OpCode plus the correct "constant" time and send it through Spirit.OCX (or directly, depending of the platform). (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I just wrote a task and function that cause the RCX to receive data from the PC and then set the time on the RCX using SetWatch(). Unfortunately, I didn't realize that SetWatch() only accepts constants. NQC complained when integer variables were (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Roger, I believe the low voltage is more important. A side issue is the battery indicator that you access through NQC (or Robolab) set up in a scale of 0-9 volts. Fully charged alkalines are 9+ and discharged ones are 6 volts. With NiMH full (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) They have a higher voltage of about 3V and are tricky to charge, if you don't do it right they have a tendency to explode. I've never seen standalone cells and charger. Jürgen (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
