Hi!

I'd also like the RCX brick can operate continuously, but it'd automatically
power-off after certain period of time, how to overcome this default setting for
the RCX brick and make the RCX brick operate continuously until I switch it >off manually?

Use software to set the "power off timer" to 0 minutes.

I'd like to use an RCX in an application that would require continous
operation.  Would the unit overheat after some time?

No problem: mine has been running continuously (on a 9V, 1A powersupply) for
8 months now. It gets a little warm, but nothing serious.

Alternatively, I could turn the power off every night for about 10 hours,
but it would then need to automatically power-up and run its program the
next day when power is restored.

Please forgive me if this has been asked before.  I don't frequent this group.
Do you have any comments or suggestions?

See above...


Greetz,
Remko

(...) SNIP (...) Thanks for the help. Sounds like the RCX works great for long periods of time. Andreas (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
