  Re: RCX.pm questions [and Linux RCX GUI question]
 
No, I don't, but thanks for the offer. I've actually never built a GUI in anything except Java until today, but Glade ((URL) makes building a GTK gui ridiculously easy- it literally took about 30 minutes to go from knowing absolutely nothing to (...)

  Re: RCX.pm questions [and Linux RCX GUI question]
 
You need any help building the GUI? I was thinking of doing a Perl Tk for my linux box. (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Painful details on RCX.pm problems
 
More RCX.pm stuff in case John Quillan (to whom I'll be forever indebted, if this ever works) shows up. So I have this code: #!/usr/bin/perl use LEGO::RCX; my $rcx = new LEGO::RCX(); $rcx->ping(); $k = 0; while($k ne 10) { print($k.") (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: RCX.pm questions [and Linux RCX GUI question]
 
So, I have some more questions to anyone who wants to answer them :) (John, hope you are listening ;) 1) Do I need to recreate $rcx after a while? It looks to me that under many circumstances, repeated calls to the RCX will fail to cause the tower (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  MindStorms Price Reduced at Future Shop
 
For anyone up here in Canada, Future Shop has the MindStorms 1.5 set for $250 CDN. This beats the usual MSRP of $300 everywhere else I've seen. Enjoy.... -Roy (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: RCX Power
 
(...) I've been trying to find out the optimum settings for a power adapter and the RCX. But so far no one seems to know... Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  RCX.pm questions
 
So, I've finally found a little bit of time to play with RCX.pm, and it is pretty cool. However, I'm having lots of problems convincing the RCX to actually do things :) it appears that in many cases, the first signal sent to the RCX is always (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  RCX Power
 
Does someone knows the power specs for the RCX to connect it to the home power? Thanks. Tet (25 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Motor Sticking
 
(...) I have about 16 motors and I have had, out of the box, 6 motors DOA... Other friends have more then 20 motors with 0 failures... I can only guess that I'm cursed with motors. S@H will replace ALL your dead motors... They did for me. Once when (...) (25 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: RCX: Loose Assembly?
 
(...) Oh oh. Sounds like a fault. You'd better phone LEGO and get it replaced. Otherwise you'll be unhappy for life. NONE of mine do anything like that. They are, and pardon the pun, built like a brick. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
