(...) To be precise, there is one additional part, it's an additional long clear thick optical fiber. I think it's intended to connect some VLL bricks to the USB tower. The Spybotics contain similar but shorter optical fibers. I also read that the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I have a Mindstorms 1.0 set. When the 1.5 upgrade came out, I purchased it. I see that the 2.0 upgrade is out. A couple of quick questions: (1) Is the upgrade just a CD-ROM, or are there any pieces, users' guide, or Constructopedia like there was in (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi Andreas Your project requires you face some very tough problems. I'd say that you cannot reach your goal, unless you add a lot of non-Lego hardware stuff to your robot and your building. IR communication is not appropriate, as it requires the (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

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)

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)

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)
