(...) If you REALLY wanted to do this, you could use the bytecode to broadcast the battery information to the IR tower and have a service running on the PC which would recieve the battery message and then send an appropriate message back to the RCX.

(...) There's a bytecode (0x30) that instructs the RCX to send the battery voltage as a response over the IR. That's what NQC and Mindstorms use to read the battery voltage. I don't think this opcode has any effect within a program, or at best it (...) (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Last night I went out and bought six C cell nicads and wired them up as a power supply for my robot. What I'm wondering is this: is there some way to programmatically obtain the battery voltage, so I could make a decision based on a voltage (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The idle task actually has the lowest priority in my scheme, but there was some efficiency gained in making the task list loop around. If the idle task is always there, it makes for simplified code in multitasking startup if you rely on that. (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
