 | | How good is the light sensor ?
|

Hello, I just bought a Mindstorm set and am testing it out. When I went through the tutorial on the CD I could not get the motors to stop when the light sensor was activated. When I loaded Legos (thanks Rossz), I ran the demo program linetrack and (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Ooops, Figured it out. When you set the RCXTTY variable, leave out the spaces. ie: set RCXTTY=com4 NOT: set RCXTTY = com4 The whitespace is not parsed out by the MS-DOS command line. Now that I have the frmdl3.exe and dll.exe recognizing com4, I'm (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Thanks for the info, I tried setting the environment variable (running Win 95) RCXTTY=com4 without much effect. I did get frmdl3.exe to send out to com4 with the following: frmdl3.exe --tty=com4 legOS.srec However, dll.exe still won't send via com4. (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

The easiest way is to set the environment variable RCXTTY to the com port you want to use. Type the command set RCXTTY=com4 before you run firmdl3 or dll, or add the line to autoexec.bat Cheers Philip -----Original Message----- From: David Chen (...)

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)
