| | Controlling RCX with game controller

Hi everyone, I have developed a program for Windows 95/98/2000 that will allow you to control your RCX with a game controller via the infrared transmitter that comes with the RIS set. The program is called Remote Control X. One key feature is the (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) One thing to make sure of is that the RCX outputs are not constant. If you power the pbrick with external power it can shoot to over 9.5 volts. Something to keep in mind. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Ah that explains it! I didn't try RCX Code, I wasn't that keen on it and also it wouldn't run on my NT workstation. I moved straight on to NQC and more recently have been trying RoboLab. That's why I didn't get the reference. Thanks, Conrad. (...) (...) (26 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Conrad, LEGO does refer to series of commands as 'stacks'. This comes from the Robotics Invention System RCX Code interface where a program is a literal 'stack' of instruction blocks; those who haven't used RCX Code much wouldn't recognize the (...) (26 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

My sense is that future versions (say in time for Christmas) will have new firmware, but the new firmware will also be available to current users. I'd say you got a good deal. At DM 109, even the Droid kit is a good deal, not even counting the (...) (26 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi. Is this set gonna be replaced in the near future? I just picked up two sets for DM 199 (about USD 100) each here in Germany. All other stores I called today asked between 399 and 449. The Droid Dev kit sold for DM 109 in that store. Frank (26 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
