 | | DCC for the RCX
|
|
Hello All, I've completed a new bit of firmware that enables the RCX to act as a DCC Command Station. For those who are not familiar, DCC (short for Digital Command Control) is a means of sending electrical signals over model railroad tracks to (...)

A C++ OO framework that encapsulates the LASM bytecode of Lego has been developed inside a didactical project. The class spirit that maintains the communication with the RCX is the fundamental part of this framework. The source code of this class (...) (22 years ago, 26-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Would it be possible to have two RCX's communicate back and forth with a single PC by using two Infrared towers? By enclosing one tower/RCX pair in a box you could isolate the RCX's from interrupting each other's communications. I'm guessing that (...) (22 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) The one-byte messages supported by the RCX are not generally designed to go from the RCX to the PC. They are intended to go from the PC to the RCX, or from one RCX to another. One reason for this is that the original RS-232 IR tower would not (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
