  Re: Wall wart for RCX 1.0
 
I use Radio Shack part number 273-1631. This has a selector switch which you should set to 9v for the RCX. The output from this particular transformer seems to be modestly stable, only rising to 10.5 volts or so off-load. This stays well within the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: TOWERAPI.DLL: Where is TOWERAPI.LIB file in SDK 2.0?
 
I struggled with this same problem you've encountered (even trying the method mentioned in the post you referred to). I decided it was easier for me to just load the DLL at run-time instead of using an import library. Here's what I ended up doing: (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Wall wart for RCX 1.0
 
Any 12V supply will do. It should be capable of at least 600mA. The Lego train transformers work well if you have one. Otherwise, any 12V transformer of any polarity will do (or even AC as the Lego train transformer supplies). Matthias Jetleb (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Wall wart for RCX 1.0
 
I have a RCX 1.0. And while it has a power plug, I don't have a wall wart. Is there a specific part I need from Lego, or will a "generic" wall wart do? And if so, what are the parameters (voltage, current) I need to look for? Thanks! (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  TOWERAPI.DLL: Where is TOWERAPI.LIB file in SDK 2.0?
 
I'm trying to use "TOWERAPI.DLL" to directly setup the USB tower drivers in a Windows C++ program using Microsoft's Visual Studio. Lego's documentation refers to linking with "TOWERAPI.LIB" but this file is not in the SDK 2.0 release. In an earlier (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: What version for my rcx 1.5?
 
(...) The brick version doesn't really mean a lot (other than that version 1.0 bricks had the external power jack). If you download the firmware from the 2.0 SDK then your 1.5 brick is an RCX 2.0 and it will work perfectly well with NQC, BricxCC (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  What version for my rcx 1.5?
 
Hello, I am starting to look at my mindstorm again. It is version 1.5 and I have prev. used NQC and RcxCC. What should I use now? How about the new sdk 2.0? Can I use that one? Can I use the new versions of NQC and RcxCC? Hope someone can bring me (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  MOC: Technic-scale tower crane
 
Although it was completed a while ago, recent posts [1] have prodded me into making an official announcement. Check out this seven-foot-tall tower crane: (URL) aim was to create a functional model that would fit in with the style of classic Technic (...)

  Tower crane
 
(URL) confess not looking closely at this when it was first publicised. It's amazing. (see also : (URL) ) There is mention at the end of the page of the use of an RCX but not much additional detail... John K. if you're on the list (or anyone else), (...)
