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 the end (it varies), I get a "Firmware download failed. Put
the RCX closer and try again." message. I am using the Bricx Command Center
to do this.

I can successfully dowload the "original" firmware that came with my set. I
have RCX 1.0.

I have replaced all the batteries - no change.

Any help?

Matt
It's funny that you should bring this up - I've had exactly the same
problems with several RCX's and downloading firmware from BrixCC.

The only solution I've been able to find is to download the firmware
using the RIS2.0 software and then return to BrixCC to do the
programming.

I'll be interested in what other solutions and, particularly,
explanations are put forward....

Incidentally, my downloads always fail at the "0008" point (as
displayed on the RCX). Thereafter,  I can't download anything, from
either BrixCC or RIS2.0 until I turn the RCX off and on again. This
problem is annoying, but at least it's consistant.
