(...) Whoops. I totally screwed that up. I apparently put an old EXE in the ZIP file. I need to seriously improve my configuration management! :-) Sorry about the mixup. I'm not going to release again until I'm sure I've tracked down and fixed the (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Yes, but any regulator would convert power uselessly into heat, probably too much if you use a much higher voltage and draw some current. It would be better to use higher voltage motor controllers directly (if they exist). And of course this (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Utter nonsense until you destroy the controller itself. Remember, while the Lego motors can take a fairly substantial voltage without being destroyed, the same is not true of the motor controller within the RCX. There is a voltage limit for (...)

This is my dilemma: I work for an organization that encourages schools to teach engineering through the RIS using NQC. I'm creating very detailed instructions on how to install NQC and using firmware, etc. Now since this is a package of information (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Is there a firmware version available that I can get for free that will work with NQC on any platform (Mac, Win, Linux)? Thanks Jenny (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
