Right now I'm using brickos and all is fine but my son is only 10 and I can't
teach him C or C++. I wonder if any of you have a solution for this (in order to
run the original LEGO firmware).

Try to put the firmware 2.0 into it ... You can download with the SDK2

Fonction in the 1.0 programmation should work into the 2.0 firmware. Or
try to get the 2.0 CD Cause it's really better for programmation (more
option are include)

I've tried the RCX2 firmware (firm0328.lgo). Same results: after downloading the
firmware the RCX beeps (low battery signal) and is locked. In BrickOS when I
read the battery sensor and write it's value on the display it says 620 (mV,
Ithink) with new batteries (9.2V on six elements) and 592 or 594 with very used
ones (6.75V all six). So I need a firmware with the subroutine for battery check
disabled (software solution) or an information on what pin the Hitachi processor
reads the battery signal (in order to try to solve the problem hardware).
Other ideas?
Thank you!
Octavian
