  The pain of communicating with the RCX
 
The power of Forth lies in the ease with which a system can be built and and tested both incrementally and interactively. Unfortunately I'm experiencing severe difficulties estasblishing a reliable communication channel between my PC (Linux) and the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

  Re: (Slightly Offtopic:) WinAmp remote control via IR Tower
 
(...) Mindstorms uses an ActiveX control called SPIRIT.OCX to communicate with the IR tower. As far as I know, it only opens the COM port when some application is actually using the .OCX, so the port should be available for use if you're not running (...)

  Re: (Slightly Offtopic:) WinAmp remote control via IR Tower
 
Well! A kind soul pointed me to: (URL) has a neat Winamp plugin that allows the program to be controlled by the serial port. Now I just need to convince the IR tower to play nice with others. The plugin tries to open Com 2 (where my tower's plugged (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: patch for lnpd ( Collision problem in far-mode )
 
Thanks for you help Martin. I tried the uart stuff with no change except for this: From further testing I realised that the data that the IR Tower is sending is been recieved by the RCX (woohoo) even though a collision is reported for every sent (...)

  Electrical Data Link between 2 RCXs
 
The following describes an "electrical data link" (one direction) between 2 RCXs (see also my subject "Connecting 2 RCXs"). The task is that one RCX sends a number (e.g. a status) to another RCX via a cable. The IR link cannot be used because they (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Connecting Via a USB Hub
 
I have a USB Hub with an RS-232 port. When I connect the IR Transmitter to this port, the firmware downloads fine. If I have a program with a single RCX command block, it's fine too. If I have more than one command block, I get a download error. Any (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

No matter what I do (opening the window, turning on more lights etc) I can't get the tower to stop seeing collissions. I must admit that IR reflects so well in my house that the TV remote works form other rooms. So I tried loading your patch (...) (25 years ago, 13-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Curious problem with download

  Piggybacking sensors, but in a different way
 
Is it possible to piggyback 1 sensor onto two rcx's? For instance, have one light sensor connected to port 1 of two different rcx's at the same time. The purpose would be for one rcx to control chassis movement, and another to control manipulator (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Curious problem with download

From your tests so far it doesn't sound like the problem follows either a specific computer or an RCX. Minimize the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Setting a different com port w/ frmdl3 and dll
 
It appears that you can specify a com port other than the default COM1 for the firmdl3.exe and dll.exe programs for the Windows LegOS distribution package. Does anyone know what the syntax might be? I use COM4 for my IR Tower. Thanks, Dave (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
