  RCX firmware download
 
Hi, Wonder if I can get some help in this forum, hope so ;) I've been trying to download the firmware (standard) to a RCX. After I turn it on, the cone signal blinks, and it accepts communication with the IR tower. Then it starts downloading and in (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  RCX IR to RF conversion
 
Hi, My name is Tiago, and I'm from Brazil. This is my first post here, but I'm watching this group for a long time. Recently I saw a post here about a RCX IR to RF converter, created by the NEAT group. I was wondering, does anyone build their (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  First LEGO Robotics course at Tel-Aviv University
 
Hi all, 2 weeks ago I finished teaching the first course of Mindstorms in Tel-Aviv University - Israel and wanted to share pictures from the entire course.

  Re: control RCX from PC
 
(...) I usually use the Microsoft C++ 6.0 compiler for my Windows programs, although the code should compile with little/no modification in any Windows-compatible C++ compiler. (Both the Borland and the GNU/GCC compilers should be able to rebuild (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: control RCX from PC
 
(...) Thanks for this suggestion, but I don't want to use Lejos. It is too much a high-level language for the purpose of this class. (...) That's also one of my problems: I only use Linux, but the school uses Windows for this class. (...) Merci. (21 years ago, 18-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: control RCX from PC
 
Salut Benjamin, (...) Lejos can do that, and it could also be used on the RCX. (...) I would bet on the RemoteCommand (0xD2) LASM command. There is a description in the SDK 2.5, "LASM byte codes.pdf", page 61. The SDK can be found by (URL) could (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: control RCX from PC
 
(...) I have a simple WIN32 console application (with C source code) that opens the USB tower to listen for messages from the RCX. You can easily modify this program (using the WriteFile() API system function) to talk to the RCX. (URL) not exactly (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  control RCX from PC
 
Hi all, I'm writing down some practical work for students that learn computer science. The goal is to teach them how a serial communication works. Therefore, we want them to write a program that listens to serial communications. The PC will send (...) (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Differences between Raw Sensor readings and Light Sensor
 
(...) I'd guess it depends on what you are doing. Without a doubt, raw gives you the best sensor resolution. I'd guess that for kids it is easier to think in terms of 0 to 100%. Since you are not a kid, raw is probably better. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Differences between Raw Sensor readings and Light Sensor
 
Hi, Can someone point out the differences between setting a sensor as Light (or any custom sensor) vs setting the sensor as Raw? Isnt it better to use the RAW readings since it reports a range of 0 to 1023 as opposed to scaling the readings to 0 to (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, (...) do you have any idea what the write timeout does and is needed for? I'm wondering whether I would need that in the Linux driver, currently I only have the other two. Jürgen (21 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  BricxCC & downloading NQC programs failing
 
I have heard from a user of BricxCC who has been experiencing the "compile failed: no (or bad) reply from RCX" (or words to that effect) error message when trying to download pretty much any NQC program either using BricxCC or using NQC directly (...)

  IR to RF conversion for the RCX
 
Hi, As I was searching for ways to remove the "line-of-sight" problem with the RCX, I ran across this link: (URL) guys are building a complete RF module for the RCX. They are replacing the tower with a RS232-RF tower and they are also building a (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
