when i first got legOS up and running i used rcx-egcs-1.1.2-1.i386 rcx-egcs-c++-1.1.2-1.i386 rcx-binutils-2.9.5.0.22-1.i386 i'm assuming the first two are the c and c++ compilers, however what is the function of the binutils? thanks (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, I have a couple of RCX's and was wondering if anyone has done any work on a way to transfer a program from one rcx to another in the case of a battery failure, etc. instead of replacing the rcx in the robot with the other one. thanks (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

So with inverting every other message byte were you able to work at 4x? Were you then also able to work at close range at 4x? It would seem easy to patch LNP to automatically do this inversion. I'll have to give this a try. thanks, mark (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
