| Hi Trevyn, From the photo you posted, it appears that you have the input and output pins of the 7805 reversed. According to the datasheet, this will probably fry the regulator. I'd recommend getting a new part before continuing, so as not to risk (...) (23 years ago, 2-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| Cool stuff, congrats on the Slashdot recognition. Hope the "Slashdot Effect" didn't totally cripple your server. Wondering if you or Olaf could make the LegOS code available for all to see, just wondering how it was all done for educational purposes (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| (...) [...] (...) A few days ago, Olaf sent me his legOS TCP/IP code which I have been running a few days, so I probably have the world's second TCP/IP-enabled Lego brick in my office :-) ! I was also able to squeeze in a simple web server, a few (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| Most "wall wart" transformers give about 3-5 volts above what is marked on them. I would not use one of these directly. However, I am currently working on using a 7809 voltage regulator. If you don't know, a voltage regulator is a small electronic (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| Hi all, I just got my new RIS Ver.#2, and I am far from being an electronic expert. I am wondering if a proper wall tranformer with an adapter inside the RCX to connect to the battery terminals would work for stationary application. Of course, I do (...)
