(...) The 2.0 Firmware has been out for ages. It's fully useable on the 1.0, 1.5's.

(...) That IS cool. Now the problem is to figure out if this new feature was implemented using the exisiting ROM or if the entry points have changed. Has anybody tried to run legOS or pbForth on the new RCX 2.0? (Maybe I can use this as an excuse to (...)

(...) First off have you connected the right two plates? First, I'd suggest using a 9 volt battery to find the right two plates. The RCX has built in reversed polarity so with a 9volt battery you won't damage anything. THEN ONLY USE 9 volts (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I'd like to be cutting in to this transformer conversation, since ... I'd like to know what kind of adapter I could use (and how) for supplying my RCX with power, since it has no inlet. I have tried to use DC adapters for 6, 9, and 12 Volts, (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I've used the Train Transformers with great success. If you look close at your RCX you'll notice 9-12~ Anything from 9 to 12 volts AC or DC will work fine. Though to prevent your RCX's Diode Bridge from burning out AC is better. (Shares the (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Well on the back of the LEGO train power supply it list Output as 12VAC 7VA, so I'm assuming that the DC conversion is done in the speed regulator, I couldn't tell you why. But it's good to know I can use this power supply with a 1.0 RCX since (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) heh, notice that the original question was about the "power supply that goes with the 0v train spee dregulator" - so we're talking about lego transformers, not just any train transformer. :) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) true - but I think the RCX input is rated 9-12V. I don't have a train transformer here, but wouldn't it be outputing 12VDC? Can't imagine why they'd put a AC to DC converter in the regulator... Anyway, we've used the train transformers many (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

What is the proper voltage for a external power supply for a 1.0 RCX? Can I use the power supply that goes with the 9v train speed regulator? I believe the train transformer outputs 12VAC. jt (24 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
