  Re: Extending IR communications
 
Hello all. The mirror trick works for sending the signals from the IR tower to the RCX (I'm only using a single RCX). However, the return signal the RCX wants to send to the tower isn't transmitted across the mirror. Since you mentioned leJOS and (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Question - VB programming of RCX
 
(...) I don't know of many people who use VB to actually program the RCX. It is very possible to do, however, it's not like you may think. You can write a PC program in VB that will send the commands (a program) to the brick, but you still have to (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Extending IR communications
 
In terms of power requirements and battery life, has anyone here actually quantified how much of a difference that makes? Its a damn good idea - as long as you have white, and relatively flat ceilings. If you dont want/are not able to reposition (...) (19 years ago, 6-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Question - VB programming of RCX
 
Hi, Are there people who program there RCX with Visual Basic (VB)? If so, where can i find info about that? I do have VB5. Regards, Ludo (19 years ago, 7-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  RE: Extending IR communications
 
Orient both RCXs so that they are pointing towards the ceiling. Set the RCX transmit power level to high (default is probably low power); there's probably some Lejos function to do this -- all it requires is setting one bit in an I/O register to 1. (...)

  Re: Errors compiling threads
 
(...) Hi Steve, Thanks, you were right about the compiler being ok. I changed "pid_t" to "tid_t" and got the thread statements working correctly. Finally, by consulting BrickOS documentation I found out the new syntax for the old "sys_time" command (...) (19 years ago, 4-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
