I'd like to make some sort of Disney-style animatronic robot with my RCX. This would involve using all three motors to control a Tiki Room-style parrot, for example, with a rotation sensor on each motor. Programming the robot would involve running a (...)

You can use any of the AC adapters from the 9V train sets on the RCX 1.0. I use the ac adpaters from the 4561 and the feight train (red and black) and I have never had any problems. Ahui (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|

I just snagged another 4561Railway Express. I believe I recall reading that the AC adapter in that will work with my RCX 1.0. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks, Thomas (25 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I bought a Vision Command set and found that the LEGO software installer detects NT & 2K and refuses to go further. However, the CD for VC has 2k drivers and the QUICKCAM program works fine. Anyone have a way around this problem? (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I read somewhere that perl was no more needed in v2.5. And as I began with this v2.5 version, I didn't install perl.
