It also shows the current battery reading and how long the RCX has been on. The UI is pretty simple to use. It also (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

With the latest surge of interest in updating LegOS, I’d like to offer an idea that I think would be nice to add.

We are now actively deciding what the next release of legOS will be.
