| Hi Trevyn, From the photo you posted, it appears that you have the input and output pins of the 7805 reversed. According to the datasheet, this will probably fry the regulator. I'd recommend getting a new part before continuing, so as not to risk (...) (23 years ago, 2-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| Most "wall wart" transformers give about 3-5 volts above what is marked on them. I would not use one of these directly. However, I am currently working on using a 7809 voltage regulator. If you don't know, a voltage regulator is a small electronic (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
| | | | | Power to RCX
|
| Hi all, I just got my new RIS Ver.#2, and I am far from being an electronic expert. I am wondering if a proper wall tranformer with an adapter inside the RCX to connect to the battery terminals would work for stationary application. Of course, I do (...)

|
| I am trying to download the firmware to the ris 1.0 & 2.0 using the usb tower but it won't finish, the rcx only counts to 200-300 & is different all the time. then it says the tower is disconnected, when i didn't even touch it. BUT the serial tower (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Im currently working on the same problem - ive designed a pendulum with plenty of damping and I have developed a mathematical model but I am unsure if it is accurate enough. Ive developed a PID (...)

| I have finally documented how the current Rail Racers race track is controlled and configured. I hope to had more detailed information on each individual component soon, as well as the source code for the RCXs (developed in NCQ). The basic overview (...)
