| Hi, has anyone had any joy combining the input from several micro-switches into one RCX input, I've built a simple multiplexor for three lego touch sensors, but now I need four!! .. I know this can be done by adjusting my current design, except I (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
| | | | | Re: About IR Tower
|
| No matter if your tower is connected before booting, it's not a PnP device ! What's more, a serial port can safely be added/removed because it's just a text device. On Linux, you can easily test your IR tower : echo 'RCX please show me a sign' (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| (...) I suppose the obvious question is: Have you checked the batteries in both the RCS and the IR tower? And I do mean have you CHECKED the batteries - never assume that a "new" battery right out of the package hasn't been sitting on a store shelf (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
| | | | | Re: About IR Tower
|
| The tower must be connected before you boot the computer. Have you tried using the other COM port? If your mouse is using the other port, swap it and try the tower in that port. Remember to reboot. If all else fails, you need a friend to loan you a (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|
| The green light always is on when I tried to find it, also when I boot PC, I think maybe the IR light is fault, what do you think? I also tried near 100 times, change different position, far or near, stand up and lie down tower or RCX/Scout, all are (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | | Re: My RCX doesn't work!
|
| I would replace the battery in the tower again. Watch the green light on the tower as you boot the computer. It should turn on once for a short time and then for a longer time as the boot sequence is completed. Check the cable connections at both (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| I haven't used my RCX for a while, I found it doesn't work when I want to download firmware to it today. In fact, it is near non working! The RCX2 tools, nqc, lejos and WinNQC all can't find this RCX, but it can be found in 1% chance even if I put (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Probably the ideal solution is the nice limited slip differential shown by somebody months ago (sorry can't remember who was he). Mario Lego (...) (25 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
