Matt, I discovered that the IR LED's and detector on my serial tower was located higher than I expected and pointed upward somewhat. I was able to get better transfers when the tower was leaning forward (pointing downward so to speak). Otherwise, I (...) (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi All, I have pulled my RCX out of summer storage and I am trying to bring it to life. I have tried to download the 2.0 Firmware (firm0328.lgo) dozens of times with no success. It starts to download, then somewhere in the middle, or very close to (...) (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi Pieter, I'll take a shot at it... It's possible you may be experiencing a transmission problem on the RCX side. That's not to say that your RCX can't transmit IR data correctly... obviously it can since you are able to download BrickOS and that (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
