(...) Contact LEGO Affairs. It seems you got the Lemon. Some part inside is probably in backwards... I see no user correctable 'fix' for this. Tell them it's not working and they will send you a new one. IF they make you send the dead one back (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) All of Lego's Software (Besides Exploration Mars) requires the LEGO Cam. This is not a requirement. It's so you don't pirate the software. It's most annoying that I can't use my pro cams for any of it. There are some nice features... It has (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

This is my first venture into lugnet.robotics, so excuse me if this has been asked and answered before (I normally frequent lugnet.cad). The RCX my son received for Christmas seems to have a problem with the low battery indicator - it comes on with (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Pinnacle Systems has a USB video capture device which allows one to capture the analog video signal. Works great with software like the Exploration Mars software, which just checks if you have a video input of some sort. Vision command, however, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Apparently it only works with the Lego cam. Using any other camera (USB or not) will not work as several people here tried it already. I have both the lego camera and the XCam2. XCam2 is great as long as you have plenty of light! Otherwise, the (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I think I didn't mention that there is an addition for XCam2 called XRay which makes XCam2 a usb webcam. My question was if it could be used. Can you select which camera you would like to use in VC software or does it only work with the LEGO cam? (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

There seems to be a common misconception that all cameras are equal! They are not. The kind of interface commonly found in webcams and the Lego cam are USB based digital ones which are supported by the O/S and deliver digitised images as bits maps (...)

Hi! Has anyone experience in using the wireless XCam2 as a replace for Vison Command. I was interested in Vision Command but did't buy it because the camera is always connected to the PC via a cable. With XCam2 you could build a robot that could (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
