(...) 2.0 adds new programming features which are mostly noticeable in the graphical programming environment that LEGO supplies. If you're using a different language, though, then the differences will be handled by the compiler. NQC was updated to (...) (20 years ago, 5-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) 1) I'm not sure these are currently available 2) They only give you independent control of two motors per RCX output (but you can connect motors together) 3) They won't work with the 8366 motors (they were designed before those were available) (20 years ago, 5-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) John Barnes (HiTechnic) has available a motor amplifier which draws it's power from an external source, and can control 4 motors from 1 RCX ouptut. I haven't tried one, but you might find it helpful: (URL) (20 years ago, 5-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) What does this mean in electrical novice terms? What is an auto-coupler? Is it possible to modify the reciever/power unit to interface with the RCX? ie maybe add an inferred recuever to interpret commands from the rcx to power the motors (...) (20 years ago, 5-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Who said you had to actually use laser? :) Google for "electronic tape measure" to see what I'm talking about (they really use sonar, with a laser pointer to show where the device is reading from).

(...) This is an interesting subject and one which generates some interest every so often. The conventional assumption would be that you are talking about LIDAR. The thing is, even if simple plans where available, would you be able to use them to (...) (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi I'd like to build a laser distance sensor for my mindstorms robot. Does anyone know if any plans of circuits of such sensors exists? Andreas (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The Mindstorms SDK 2.5 is still available, which includes the 2.0 firmware. If you don't want the actual 2.0 version of the graphical programming software then this should be all you need. (URL) (20 years ago, 2-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) Yes, I suggest making an inertia circuit for use with trains, but for cars something else might be better. In RCX float or braked modes the power H-bridge flywheel diodes will brake the motor, but in high power applications, how often is float (...) (20 years ago, 1-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
