  Re: Development status
 
(...) Hi Stephen, 2*Michael and others, I've (finally) started playing around with brickOS again. My RCX and almost all of my Lego is in storage a long long way from here, but that may actually be a good thing in this context. I've applied Jochen's (...)

  Re: NQC for Linux/ASUS eeePC
 
(...) Is it Windows based? If so, have you tried installing BricxCC? Jetro (15 years ago, 25-Jan-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  NQC for Linux/ASUS eeePC
 
Hi all, I have an ASUS eeePC, and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get NQC onto it so I could program my RCX with it? Thanks! -Iain (15 years ago, 25-Jan-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  64bit driver for the LEGO USB Tower
 
Is it safe to say that LEGO will not be creating a 64bit driver for the USB Tower? Is there anyone here that could? What would it take? It would be really nice to have one before LEGO completely drops support for the RCX system. (15 years ago, 16-Jan-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Trains, Car and Level Crossing Automatic Control System
 
This system is used 4 RCXs to control 2 trains, 1 car and 1 level crossing. RCX1 is used to control 3 switch points and response 3 light sensors. RCX2 is used to control 3 segments track and response 2 light sensors. RCX3 is used to control level (...)

  RCX infrared broken -- what now?
 
I recently dug my old MindStorms sets out of storage after about five years of inactivity. Naturally the RCXes (I have three) all needed to have their firmware re-installed. I was able to successfully refresh two of the bricks but not the third. I (...) (16 years ago, 20-Aug-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  brickOS is slower than NQC for sending message
 
I tested two ways with brickOS and NQC, source as below, you will find the NQC can only send about 80 messages in 4s, brickOS can send all 255 messages, but need 20s, in other word, NQC needs 50ms for sending a message, or brickOS needs above 100ms (...)

  Problem to send long messages from RCX to PC via com Hack
 
Hi, Once again i am back about RCX and BT-Connection. Receiving messages from the PC via BT to the RCX is OK. But if I send messages from the RCX to the PC with 4800 Baud i get only 4 Bytes. So I go back to 2400 Baud, forget BT and make a serial (...) (16 years ago, 10-Jun-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  multiplex 2 touch sensors on a single RCX port
 
I have these 2 touch sensors multiplexing on the same input port. Their raw values are 47 and 39. I tried to set up 2 separate events, one for the range of 45 to 50 and another one for 35 to 40. However, the one for the lower feedback often set off (...) (16 years ago, 2-Jun-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
