I'd like to use an RCX in an application that would require continous operation. Would the unit overheat after some time? Alternatively, I could turn the power off every night for about 10 hours, but it would then need to automatically power-up and (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I've managed to get the USB tower working for quad speed downloads under linux. There were some interesting issues along the way. 1) The usb tower doesn't allow control over parity, so you have to leave it on odd. I got around this by making a new (...)

This has been suggested and may very well be the best way to handle manual removal of a runaway task. I plan to investigate this once I get my current updates squared-away.

The user tasks should respond to the run/stop button by shutting down gracefully. If a task (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
