(...) Since the RCX has essentially a serial interface to the outside world, you would need to encode and decode the HTTP requests and responses into a serial-based protocol. If you actually wanted the RCX to be plug-and-play compatible with (...) (27 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(OK, I know this sounds perverse, but heck, some high-end printers these days are coming with built-in webservers for configuration, so it's not that perverse.) Has anyone written an HTTP daemon for the RCX? I mean a scaled-down version of httpd (...) (27 years ago, 17-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Thanks Dave. I hadn't downloaded the firmware yet. Originally, I was simply hoping to use the remote control and the rcx to drive my trains. So I didn't bother to install the software. Now I know. Again, Thank you. Ben In lugnet.robotics.rcx, Dave (...) (27 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Partly, I can think of cases where that might be ugly. But more importantly, I often want to set up a scenario so that two robots will bump into each other in a certain place.

(...) Huh? You mean, your robot doesn't work unless you point it in a certain direction before starting the program? That doesn't sound too robust. Okay, let's change the algorithm: (this is for a line tracker that follows "dark" lines and relies on (...) (27 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) This is my inspiration for adding on-the-fly init code, btw. RoboTag uses two seperate robots, and it turns out that my friend -- the source of the second mindstorms kit -- has a light sensor which reads about 10 "darker" than mine. (27 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Wow. I feel I should point out that experimentally my method works 100% of the time. :) On the other hand, mine is a special-case application: the light sensor is used to read color values from a surface, which presumably will have very little (...)
