Hello, I'm trying to get a recent brickOS (0.9.0) working on Mac OS X 10.4.3. I have an RCX 2.0 with the USB tower. I have a cross-compiler (gcc 3.2.2) that apparently works, and using the firmware download program included with lejOS (specially (...)

(...) Your correct, it isn't that. I know all about -Susb, because I'm using a serial and a usb tower simultaneously with respective rcx's. One sets in a box so their is no IR crossover. I have swapped over the towers. The USB worked perfectly in (...) (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) This probably isn't it, but if you're using the command line, have you included the -Susb parameter to tell NQC you're using USB?

| | Problem with IR
|

For some reason I'm having a problem downloading with NQC. I previously had the serial tower set up at the end of a track. The rcx on my robot goes up and down it. I used to have occasional problems with the IR comms, but I'd change the battery and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi David, I am sorry that I did not clarify my question. Thank you very much for taking the time out to help though! I fully understand that variations that light sensor produces, and I do make calibration the first thing to do before I run my bots. (...)

Hi, I have these 2 different light sensors. One reads "41" vs another reads "34" on the same area. I have troubleshoot it by switching ports, different RCX brick. The reading different stays the same. Is this reasonable because they might have a (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi I'm experimenting with the Swan firmware but I have a puzzle. Is the constant OUT_A a direct equivalent to MTR_A as replacing OUT_A with MTR_A doesnt seem to work.I've used SetMotorPower128(MTR_A,50) to set motor speed. The command that doesn't (...)
