 | | A/C Adapter for RCX 1.0
|
|
I bought an RCX with an AC adapter jack and an AC adapter from Pitsco. They arrived today. But when I opened the adapter I saw that it outputs 12V, not 9V. It's an old Dacta AC adapter from 1996 (copyright date on packaging). I already tried using (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) Hi John, It does work. The RCX appears in the Spybot's World Table. The Range is set to Anywhere. Pretty cool... --Jay (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I'm a little surprised that the Spybot doesn't need to see the packet header byte - the byte containing the range/orientation bits preceding the 0x8n Ping byte. The header is deliberately generated with the stop bit cleared to force a framing error. (...)

(...) Yes, that is what another person told me via email yesterday. So a ping simulation function for an RCX running the RCX2 firmware could be: // nLinkID = 0-7, where 0 = no link, 7 = pc link, 1-6 = controller link // nMyID = 8-255 (minBotID = 8, (...)

When setting lnp address using dll, you dont have to specify rcx target so I guess you are using integrity_write for that. So in this case you have to write a program for the receiveing RCX to make it change address(If you haven't done that). This (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
