The 1.0 is just to the side of the tower. I think my problem (...) (18 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| Does the Lego USB IR tower, when set to long range, sometimes draw more than the 500mA allowed? Or do laptops generally not reliably supply 500mA? Or are we facing some deeper analog issue here, like not ramping up to 500mA from less mA fast enough (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
