Hi! I have "stumbled" across a rather new site that offers hosting and a lot of free tools for managing OpenSource projects. Since many projects around here are in that category, I thought I'd let everyone know about it too. The place is at (URL) (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi all! Since I gave a try to Quite C, and since there may be more people interested, I decided to write my opinion about it. Basically, the package includes the H8 compiler tools, a small set of libraries for accessing the ROM routines, some other (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

1. Out of curiosity, what pieces are in the 1.0 kit that aren't in 1.5? Why did LEGO remove those 10 pieces? 2. Where could we buy RIS kits in bulk? Say around 40, preferably at discount price (below $200)? 3. Is anyone using them in college level (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I use six NiMH batteries in my RCX - they work fine - BUT the motors rotate slower than when I use alkaline. I find the battery life OK. Regards, Jacob (26 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Looking for a site that contains photgraphs and diagrams of Killough's Platform. Also any information on commercial sensors that that can be used with the RCX. I am going to try using a phototransistor detector ECG3122. Any help appreciated. (26 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I use an external battery pack whenever possible/practical. It has 8 (not 6) NiMh cells, providing a total of 9.6 volts. Works fine. Actually, it produces a little more power than ordinary batteries. You need a socket for external power on the RCX (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I prefer rechargeable alkalines myself (such as Rayovac Renewal). They have the same nominal cell voltage as alkalines, charge quickly, have excellent shelf life, and no memory effect. The downside is that their total charge is somewhat less (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
