| (...) Doesn't that mean that at any given count, you could still be off by 1, but now the odds of having an incorrect count are 50-50 instead of about one in 500? (...) There has been some discussion about whether this patch will work with Robolab, (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| (...) I think RoboLab uses its own firmware, so patching FIRM0328.LGO won't help you unless you use the RIS programming environment. (Or NQC, but that apparently isn't allowed by FIRST?) (...) I've used FIRM0328.LGO with older (version 1.0) RCXes (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Although RIS and RoboLab may not use the same identical firmware, that doesn't (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| Hello Don, (...) firm0309.lgo is firmware from RIS 1.5, while firm0328.lgo comes from RIS 2.0. Maybe RIS 1.5 can't download 2.0 firmware, never tried that... (...)

The FIRST rules permit using different firmware implicitly, because they permit using RIS or Robolab, which requires different firmware. 3. (...)

| Hello Dick, Looks great, but it doesn't seem to work well here: - counts up 2 by 2, but counts down correctly one by one - loses count, especially when counting up. My tests were done with a brand new, unmodified rotation sensor. I mounted a wheel (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
