RCX IR does not require direct line of sight. All sorts of reflections will work. Especially if you're in a "smallish" (bedroom, home office) room. The RCX firmware always has the IR turned off. "Wait for mail" and "send mail" is just a higher (...) (17 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

IR communication is no where near the reliability like a tcp/ip. You can easily lose a message ... so program must be either extremely simple one way communication. The sender should be programmed to handle message loss. What I had the kids done was (...) (17 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Thanks for your reply. I had to return the 1.0 RCX and motor back to school today. Those things are like gold. The 1.0 faces the 2.0 and is not in direct line of sight of the tower. The 1.0 is just to the side of the tower. I think my problem (...) (17 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Are you sure your problem isn't interference? How did you "lock out" the RCS 1.0 from receiving (and responding) to the direct commands? You have two RCXs turned on and sending direct commands from the PC. They will both try to respond to the (...) (17 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I have been running RoboLab 2.54 B on a Dell Inspiron 1100 with little problem until of late. I am using direct mode, tower set to high and the 2.0 RCX and tower are 3” from each other with the 2.0 RCX raised up 1” to better line up with the tower. (...)

Has anyone had success in installing RoboLab on a server? After installing on a windows based server the message "visa32.dll is missing" occurs. Assuming RoboLab 2.9 can be run from a server are there any maximum user limitations? (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

(...) I forgot to mention the green light. Ever since I enabled the serial port in the BIOS, the green light will only come on now when NQC is trying to transmit, which is what's supposed to happen. But then it reports the error I provided earlier. (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) Does the green light in the tower come on at all when you try to send the message? Is the light only on when you are trying to communicate? If the light is always one I would look for another application that is trying to use the serial port. (...) (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)
