 | | An idea concerning the new RC trains and a new RCX
|
|
Hi, all, I know this might just be a shot in the blue sky, but anyway: Lego is most propably working on a new RCX system. At the Legofan site, there is a discussion about things that should be in a new RCX, and someone mentioned Bluetooth as a (...)

(...) I've discovered a thread in legofan (URL) that talks about new features of a possible RCX 3.0. Is there more information that can be handed out? - Dave (19 years ago, 22-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Yes, that requires the RCX to receive. What I am looking for is a function which is much like the "is RCX in view" in the direct mode. This function allows the IR tower to detect any RCX in range, even the RCX is in in idle state, but just on, .... (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

(...) Not sure what you mean here. You could certainly program some RCX's to "ping" each other to determine if they are in mutual IR range. RCX-A sends out a message & listens for a reply, while any other RCX that "sees" such a message immediately (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Hi I understand that Robolab has a feature to detect if the RCX is in view thru the direct mode. However, this only means it has to face toward the IR tower which connected to the PC. Then, how about the way a RCX's capability to detect the whether (...) (19 years ago, 9-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

(...) The MindScript compiler is very buggy when it comes to reporting the actual location of a compiler error, unfortunately. The wrapper I wrote that is used within BricxCC tries to account for the problems it has and adjust the error information (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello all. The mirror trick works for sending the signals from the IR tower to the RCX (I'm only using a single RCX). However, the return signal the RCX wants to send to the tower isn't transmitted across the mirror. Since you mentioned leJOS and (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I don't know of many people who use VB to actually program the RCX. It is very possible to do, however, it's not like you may think. You can write a PC program in VB that will send the commands (a program) to the brick, but you still have to (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

In terms of power requirements and battery life, has anyone here actually quantified how much of a difference that makes? Its a damn good idea - as long as you have white, and relatively flat ceilings. If you dont want/are not able to reposition (...) (19 years ago, 6-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
