(...) Yes. I avoid using raw mode whenever possible because of the background fluctuations I see in sensor values. These could quite easily swamp the VM making the robot appear unresponsive. Whereever possible I use percentage values if I need (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) Are you using the 'stock' Mindstorms software? There is an option in the setup for the RCX, where you can set the time-off to 'infinity'. I don't remember where it is in version 1.0, but in 2.0 it's in the same area where you download the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I have a problem with the RCX ver 1.0. Recently our group, MichLTC, ran a RCX controlled trolley in a train show. The problem is that the RCX shuts down while the program is running. I believe this has to do with the idle shutdown feature of the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

It's caused by two things, parasitic capacitance on the chip itself and leakage between the lines going to the A/D (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

This is certainly a known defect in the input circuitry in the RCX. I know nothing about other kernels apart from the standard Lego one (via NQC) but the results of my examining the problem indicated that the ports are scanned in reverse order, 3 - (...)

A light sensor connected to port 2 can cause on output from port 1. To see this (if you are using lejos), download the View object and hook up a light sensor to port 2. On my RCX, the port 1 raw values fluctuate between about 1010 and 1019. A (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I'm not sure who would be responsible for this but the legos website at sourceforge is broken. (URL) doesn't work. It looks some changes were underway for the brickOS name change. mark (22 years ago, 29-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) They all have a current run through them, and their resistance is then turned into a 10-bit number by the RCX's ADC. 0 = no resistance, 1023 = infinite resistance. Normally, this is a small current. However, for light sensors to have the LED (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
