I have developed a framework of classes in C++ that encapsulates the the RCX and its communication either from serial and from usb port. The framework is based on a proprietary library of fundation classes by SYCO called G++ that can be freely (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi there. I'm conscious that SPIRIT.OCX is quite old and that now there're another ways to control the RCX from any object oriented language on the computer side. I've tried those new methods and are quite good. In my opinion there's a big big point (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Looking at your program, I see that you use code like the following to "run" a program: else if(data == P1) code0=0x91+alt; code1=0x00; send(2); This will only do half of the job. This is a "Set Program Number" opcode, which is the equivalent (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

There dosn't need to be anything in the file. When you (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, (...) Because I want the IR ports free to use along with proximity sensors. (...) Well, if it is not too much to ask... :-) But nevertheless, LejOS should support some low level output handling on A-C before I could use it... Regards, Martin (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

May be the use of LejOS is the reason....(I don' t (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Hi Dryden, DCC sends information to the decoders by flipping the polarity of the power supply in a specific timing sequence. So, it's not like the X-10 protocol. To get more power to run more locomotives, you need something called a DCC booster. The (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)
