In my latest and greatest idea I intend to run two RCXs together to control a fairly complicated arm. To do this I need to communicate with two RCXs from my PC (the program is actually going to be controlled from my PC). Now I haven't had much luck (...)

(...) I usually just pull out a battery for a second. Note that the RCX draws very little power when turned off, and thus can retain memory for a while even without any batteries (cacitance on the power supply rails hold the RAM for a while). A good (...) (24 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) You turned it off in between and by only having your mm.c patch zapped parts of legOS own memory. No program will survive an off/on with only your patch in 0.2.4. Eddie C. Dost ecd@skynet.be (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Actually, I'm using 0.2.4, last downloadable version. With this, the memory eating problem is solved with my stated patch. Might be, that the new version has the tm.c changes?

(...) No idea why that wouldn't work, it always has for me. I hold down prgm and as soon as I hit on/off, there's a little beep and the thing shuts off. When I turn it back on, it's back to the regular stuff. Of course, you can always try taking out (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

OK... Really DUMB question but I have to give my borrowed RCX back and buy my own so I went to remove legOS from my mates RCX to give it back and guess what... it won't go! :( I looked in the HOWTO and it says hold down Prgm and press the on.off (...)
