Dick, thanks for posting this information. I have some USB code I need to do some more work on and this should prove very useful! Mark (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Wow, I'm sure glad I have the RCX 1.0 with the power jack... I didn't even know the newer ones didn't have it until I started to visit LUGNET...It's something I couldn't live without, not to mention the battery contacts are unreliable... (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Wow, that answers a lot of questions, all but one: why is the USB's 'long range' shorter than the Serial's distance? Was my speculation of the available power true? (500mA vs 9v ... not sure if these two measurements can be compared) (...) <snipped> (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | USB vs Serial Tower Response Time

Several recent posts have mentioned significantly slower performance of the USB Tower when compared to the serial Tower. After several measurements, I've concluded that the USB Tower is "natively" only slightly slower (~20 milliseconds per message) (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I did more or less that, but I put in a 7809 voltage regulator to make sure that I did no damage to my RCX (wall warts sometimes output as much as 5 volts above the printed voltage).
